In November 2014, he joined a 19-day One Ocean expedition that visited some of the sites from that ill-fated journey, an experience that he\u2019ll share during a presentation at the Dwight Public Library on September 22.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the details of Shackleton\u2019s attempt to be the first to cross the Antarctic, it\u2019s worth learning about. On November 5, 1914, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 28 men on the ship <em>Endurance<\/em> arrived at the southern Atlantic island of South Georgia to begin their trans-Antarctic voyage. Conditions would be perilous \u2013 the pack ice on the Weddell Sea often froze whaling ships in place. It was to be the<em> Endurance\u2019s<\/em> fate, too, but what followed was anything but ordinary.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Ten months after becoming trapped in the ice, the relentless pressure crushed the ship\u2019s hull. Shackleton ordered the crew to offload as much equipment as possible. When the <em>Endurance <\/em>finally broke up and sank three weeks later, it left the men stranded on the ice. Over ice and then across open water in three lifeboats, they made their way to desolate Elephant Island, a journey that took almost five months. From there a small party of five men, including Shackleton, carried on in search of help back on South Georgia, 800 miles away. They were successful and more than 500 days after first leaving South Georgia to begin their expedition, all of the men were rescued without a single loss of human life.<\/p>\n<p>One hundred years later, an expedition carrying descendants of the crew among its passengers, including Shackleton\u2019s granddaughter, revisited some of the sites. Stimpson was on board, too, as the expedition photographer.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"modern-quote full\"><p>Antarctica is one of those places that has to be seen. It truly is one of the last great wildernesses we have on the planet and probably one of its greatest spectacles. It\u2019s nature at its prime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s incredible to see these places,\u201d he said. \u201cElephant Island is one of the most inhospitable places on the planet. It is like one giant rock that surges out of the ocean with towering mountains and ice fields and penguins by the thousands. It gets relentlessly pummeled by the ocean from all angles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The location where Shackleton\u2019s crew set up camp on Elephant Island and where they were eventually rescued from \u2013 Point Wild \u2013 \u201cis next to impossible to get to because of the way it faces into the ocean and with the prevailing winds and storms,\u201d said Stimpson.<\/p>\n<p>But before they were rescued, Shackleton\u2019s smaller party of five on the lifeboat the <em>James Caird<\/em>, first had to make it back to South Georgia. \u201cIt was 800 nautical miles in a 23-foot vessel with a sail. They were using a sextant for navigation and it was May \u2013 winter in the southern hemisphere \u2013 with waves you can only begin to imagine the size of.\u201d They navigated to King Haakon Bay, on the opposite side of the island from where there was a whaling station.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4143\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/09\/Rob4_King-Haaken-Bay.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4143\" class=\"wp-image-4143 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/09\/Rob4_King-Haaken-Bay.jpg\" alt=\"King Haakon Bay, where the James Caird landed with Shackleton and four of his crew after sailing 800 nautical miles from Elephant Island.

They were all imagining what their grandfathers and great uncles were doing at that point in time, except that they weren\u2019t in a 300-foot ship like we were \u2013 they were in a 23-foot lifeboat. And then when those men got to the shore, they were on the wrong side of the island and had to walk 35 kilometres over 9000-foot mountains to get to the Stromness whaling station on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4142\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/09\/Rob3_final-leg-of-Stromness-hike.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4142\" class=\"wp-image-4142 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/09\/Rob3_final-leg-of-Stromness-hike.jpg\" alt=\"Hikers follow the final leg of Shackleton's trek across South Georgia Island.

Photo by Rob Stimpson.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It was a spectacular trip, but it\u2019s not the first time Stimpson has travelled to the earth\u2019s southernmost continent. He has been the expedition photographer on One Ocean voyages since 2010 and has made a total of 16 trips to Antarctica. \u201cI\u2019m a polar freak. I\u2019m \u2018bi-polar\u2019 I tell people because I love the Arctic as much as the Antarctic. Antarctica is one of those places that has to be seen. It truly is one of the last great wildernesses we have on the planet and probably one of its greatest spectacles. It\u2019s nature at its prime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As part of his role, Stimpson pilots one of the ship\u2019s ten Zodiac boats on ice tours or to take passengers to shore. \u201cIn Antarctica you are only allowed 100 people on shore for four hours at a time. Our boat carries 90 passengers so they can all go on shore at once, but if you go on a larger ship they have to do split landings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are about 30,000 visits to Antarctica per year on several different ships, said Stimpson. \u201cThe captains work together to keep their ships out of view of one another when they\u2019re in a bay or harbour. There\u2019s not a lot of people but there aren\u2019t a lot of places to land either.\u201d The One Ocean passengers hail from around the world but Stimpson is one of the few from North America. He leaves on another expedition in mid-October.<\/p>\n<p>Stimpson\u2019s presentation in Dwight \u2013 Chasing Ernie: On the 100<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary of his Trans Antarctic Expedition \u2013 is on September 22 at 1:00 pm. He\u2019ll talk about the Shackleton expedition and its photographer, Frank Hurley \u2013 one of Stimpson\u2019s heroes \u2013 and will share his own photographs from the centenary voyage.
