| Aanvullende informatie |
Shackleton's connection to the Falkland Islands is direct and unglamorous: Stanley was the last port of call before the Endurance departed for Antarctica in 1914, and it was to South Georgia — administered alongside the Falklands — that he famously returned after the ship's loss, having crossed 800 miles of the Drake Passage in an open boat. He died at South Georgia in 1922 and is buried there. The 1999 issue marks the 125th anniversary of his birth.
