Tweeting daily from Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914, to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of events. The project used primary sources, curated for social media post lengths.
From the project site...
In 1914, a band of seasoned explorers set out for the last continent on earth, Antarctica. Their goal, to traverse the unmapped interior. Their plan, a pincer movement advancing from the Ross and Weddell seas. Their route, to pass the South Pole on their way to the unknown.
They never made it. This is their story.
