Punta Arenas #3B

Punta Arenas, Chile.

 

A monument dedicated to Sir Earnest Shackleton who headed an Antarctic expedition that went afoul as they intended to across the icy continent on foot. Their ship was caught in ice floes and the men stranded. Shackleton eventually saved all of his men and was considered a hero. The link here (www.cnn.com/travel/article/story-behind-shackleton-endura...) is quite a story and worth reading.
