While it's always good to try I predict they will fail. Navigating from Elephant Island to South Georgia with a sextant in a small boat tossing in the seas is a feat that probably demands as much luck as skill.

Jeez, could it be done twice? My hero...Shackleton. I remain convinced that the reason Marcelo Kohen is so keen to try and take possession of South Georgia is so he can more easily visit Shackleton's grave, now that the cruise ships don't stop off in Argentina any more..!
