Shackleton’s grave

November 19, 2010   

This is a picture of the cementry at Grytviken which is where Shackleton lies. His is the only grave in the cemetry that points north/south instead of east/west. He was buried on 5 March 1922 after a short service in the Lutheran church nearby. Next Friday we are going to have a dance in the church a celebration for Tee’s birthday. He owns Wanderer III a 30 footer which has wintered over here for the last two years with his wife Kiki. The photos was taken from cementry gully which is a waterfall just behind the graveyard – a beautiful spot to watch the world go by at the beach and a good way to get up to Gull Lake in the evenings.
