A view of an island from out on the water. The island is made up of sheer cliffs lined with ice, and clouds are rolling and surrounding the island.

Elephant Island

Seemingly not visited too often these days due to rough seas and winds that can increase out of nowhere. We did manage to get fairly close albeit not a full landing - but it was cool to see such a historic spot up close. This island is where Ernest Shackleton sought refuge before sailing to South Georgia to seek help, and when you see this up close, it really sinks in just how monumentally difficult the entire journey was.
