For further reading, see Susan’s blog. Incorporated into the text of the design are Shackleton and polar related images taken from Susan’s original hand drawings.

So proud to have found this mug. I am a real Shackleton fan having read numerous books about him and attended lectures about his expedition. Also been lucky to have completed his walk from Fortuna over the mountains via the waterfall to Stromness on South Georgia . I have drank champagne at his grave in the Whalers Cemetery and seen the cross erected in his memory on South Georgia. This wonderful mug emulates the whole fateful expedition.
