Shackleton Dies Aboard Quest In Antarctic Drift
Sir Ernest Shackleton, the famed explorer, died on January 5 aboard the Quest off Gritviken while returning from a polar expedition into the Antarctic regions. The body will be brought to Montevideo and then London for burial as the Quest carries on with the expedition. The Quest aims to oceanographic research, a fossil forest, and locating inland Trans-Trasaki waters, with plans to explore Gough Island and surrounding ocean plateaus.
