On 5 December 1914, our ship left South Georgia Island and headed for Vahsel Bay, where we would begin crossing the Antarctic continent. It was the last great thing for the British to try and achieve on the Antarctic. By 19 January 1915, we became stuck in thick ice near Elephant Island. We tried but weren’t able to free the ship. We continued living on the Endurance as it moved with the ice, away from Elephant Island. I thought the ship would get free but it didn’t and sank on 21 November 1915. But we were able to get away with the lifeboats.

We camped on an ice island and played football and raced our dogs to stay happy. We hoped the ice would take us to a safe place. On 9 April 1916, the ice island broke into two. We decide to get in the lifeboats and look for the nearest land. After seven difficult days at sea, we finally landed on Elephant Island, 346 miles from where the Endurance sank. Then I decided to risk travelling back to South Georgia.

I left with seven of my team on 24 April. The 800-mile journey took us 17 days. I couldn’t believe we made it. Back at South Georgia, we climbed through mountains and finally reached a whale station on 20 May. We quickly wanted to get back to Elephant Island and save the rest of our team, but ice stopped us on three different ships until a ship from Chile called the Yelcho got us there. We got back to the island on 30 August 1916, about 22 months after first leaving South Georgia.
