The Quest Chronicle blog and its origins
In early 2021, it was suggested that I set up a blog to document the โ100-years-agoโ story of the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition as an unfolding diary.ย ย The blog launched in March 2021 and ran though the year up to January 4 2022, the eve of the centenary of Sir Ernest Shackletonโs death at South Georgia.ย ย ย By this time, I had decided that the story should be presented in a book and so transferred efforts to that cause โ resulting in The Quest Chronicle being published in September 2022.ย ย This part of our website contains just some of the posts from the original blog.
Blog posts are listed below in reverse chronological order.
