Visitors to Shackleton's grave in South Georgia, stepping over the lounging elephant seals that keep the dead company, pay homage to the man who had the vision, bravery and strength to open up Antarctica for all who followed. His open-boat journey to South Georgia and the eventual rescue of the party left behind are now legendary. For months Shackleton held his party together before taking to boats and bringing everyone safely to Elephant Island. His expedition ship Endurance was trapped, then crushed in the ice, before his party could be landed, leaving his men in a hopeless situation. Yet it is the second for which he is remembered. His first expedition was not a total success (they did not reach the South Pole), and the second was, in some senses, a total failure (they never reached the Antarctic mainland at all). Ernest Shackleton led two Antarctic expeditions, and died shortly after the beginning of a third. ![]() ![]() ![]() During these unprecedented times, witness this extraordinary cast return to the Harold Pinter Theatre in a way that fuses the power of theatre and screen.

For new fans of Haruki Murakami, there is understandable excitement around the sheer number of books that the author has produced. Although you may still find yourself waiting around for that next highly anticipated release, having a full library of novels with which to preoccupy yourself is as close to euphoria as many of us get.

Zoomy has also learned from his grandmother to make lists to steady himself in his "jittery-splat" moments. He uses the term "Deep" for blurry spaces he knows are more than he can see.
