“We could see our base, maddening, tantalizing. Shackleton at this time showed one of his sparks of real greatness. He did not rage at all or show outwardly the slightest sign of disappointment; he told us simply & calmly that we must winter in the pack, explained its dangers & possibilities; never lost his optimism, and prepared for winter.
As always with him, what had happened had happened; it was in the past and he looked to the future.”
Alexander Macklin, Surgeon
