If you go to South Georgia it's probably because you are a Shackleton admirer. Visiting the grave is a must and very emotional. We drank a tot of whisky at the graveside and remembered one of our greatest heroes. The graveyard can be very icy and slippery and a number of streams have to be crossed or forded to get there.

The actual gravesite is pretty simple, but we couldn't actually go within the perimeter due to some large elephant seals blocking the path. We didn't want to upset them since many had pups. The entire Shackelton story is what makes this grave so interesting.
Of course, in order to get here, you have to travel many many miles and be approved to go ashore.

What a thrill to be at the gravesite of this amazing leader. The following quote by a distinguished Antarctic explorer says it all: “For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton.” – Antarctic explorer, Sir Raymond Priestly. If you want to read about true adventure at its finest read about the Shackleton expedition.

As you can see from the picture, the grave is nothing spectacular at all but the surrounding nature is but that is so 20m from the grave as well.

What a thrill to visit the grave of one of your heroes. Sir Ernest Shackleton was one of the greatest leaders to ever live. He wasn't the best at exploration, but he led every single one of his sailors to make it through their perilous journey. The grave is well marked and well kept. No sense posting another pic as mine looks like all of the others. Definitely a MUST DO!

Grytviken is a pretty unassuming place and certainly not what I was expecting, but standing at The Boss's modest grave and drinking a dram of Shackleton's whisky in his honour was a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Even if you do not go to South Georgia and Antarctica, I recommend reading a book about Shackleton. He led what might be the most fantastic rescue operation in history. There were many phases to this rescue story, each phase more spectacular than the previous. If you like history, it is an amazing experience standing gravside.

Located on the outskirts of Grytviken, this simple cemetery holds a rather modest grave to explorer Ernest Shackleton, fellow crew member Frank Wild and graves belonging to Norwegian pioneers of the island and whalers.
Although not native to South Georgia, it was decided that Shackleton be buried there due to his association with the island. Its a stone white grave with an epitaph on the front and a poem on the back. The cemetery surrounded by its white picket fence is dwarfed by the surrounding hills but nonetheless is an impressive and inspiring place to visit..

If you are any kind of history fan,m you need to see Shackleton’s grave site. Shackleton left his ship’s crew mates to travel in a small boat (19 days) to South Georgia and then cross over the island from the west coast to the east coast to find some people help him rescue his crew mates. He made this epic journey and was able to save his ship mates. When he died on another Antarctica trip, his wife requested he be buried in South Georgia. This is his gravesite. Worth a visit for history buffs.
