Deception Island was my first stop in my trek to Antarctica, The other end of the yellow line shows where the Explorer went down, about 113 miles NE near King George Island. I feel I can identify with those passengers to some extent, having been in such close proximity to the spot where their ship went down and having some familiarity with the weather, etc. I was lucky of course to having had milder weather in the late Antarctic summer, and calmer seas once in the lee of the Shetland Islands.
