 By a curious coincidence as I was looking at Jayanand's excellent photos of 
the Antarctic the postman arrived with a catalog from National Geographic 
and Lindblad Expeditions reminding me that this was the 100th anniversary of 
Shackleton's ill fated Endurance expedition. This was the one immortalized 
by the photographs of Frank Hurley and led to the small boat ocean voyage to 
South Georgia Island. Lindblad and National Geographic have scheduled 
several photographic tours retracing their route. I can't promise that you 
will reproduce Jayanand's results but you will have the opportunity to see 
many of the same scenes. The tours will take place in November and December 
of this year (summer in Antarctica). If you are interested the web site is:
