Shackleton’s depot laying party head to the Ross Sea and fight to get food and fuel to the foot of the Beardmore.
Part one of a two parter recounting one of the most harrowing chapters to arise in the heroic era.
Soundscapes in this episode include Cuverville Island, Port Charcot, the Melchior Islands and Useful Island. Wrong side of the continent to be discussing the Ross Sea but I’ll take it over another session in the pretend dive hut.
