ABC Wednesday—W is for "waterfall"


This is Shackleton Falls, on South Georgia.
It's named for Sir Ernest Shackleton,
the Antarctic explorer.  
He came
over this mountain to the whaling
station
of Strömness and was able to
rescue
his entire crew after they had to abandon

their ship when it was trapped in (and
ultimately destroyed by) pack ice.
