SCENIC CRUISING: Point Wild | Shackleton’s Elephant Island & Glacier Calving | Antarctica 4K

Today we’re sharing one of the most historic locations in Antarctica — Point Wild on Elephant Island, the very cove where Sir Ernest Shackleton’s crew survived after the loss of the Endurance in 1916. This remote, windswept point is where Shackleton left 22 men while he and a small crew sailed in a lifeboat more than 800 miles to South Georgia Island to seek rescue — one of the most remarkable survival stories in history. During our scenic cruising visit aboard the Sapphire Princess, we experienced: • The rugged shoreline of Point Wild • Penguins gathered along the rocks • A glacier calving during our visit • Extraordinary ship maneuvering by our Captain and bridge team All filmed in full 4K from our balcony with natural ocean and ship sounds — no narration — so you can take in the raw beauty and history of this remarkable place. Standing there — even from a ship — it’s humbling to think about what Shackleton’s crew endured. Have you read the story of the Endurance? Would you want to visit Elephant Island? We’d love to hear from you. — Allison & Gordon Let’s Go!
