the climate scientist who introduced us to Shackleton. RIP Jim McCarthy, a great man and a dear friend. 🌎 https://t.co/wIWB7Qnm3n

With profound sadness, we note the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Jim McCarthy, on December 11th after a protracted illness. The MCZ community is greatly diminished by his loss, and we will all feel Jim’s absence deeply.

"In the darkening twilight I saw a lone star hover, gem-like above the bay." [Shackleton's last journal entry]

[Ernest Shackleton @EShackleton]

"You are always wanting me to give up things, what is it I ought to give up?" "Chiefly alcohol, Boss." — Macklin

[Ernest Shackleton @EShackleton]

"The Boss says quite frankly that he does not know what he will do after S. Georgia." — Macklin

"The old familiar smell of dead whale permeates everything."

[Ernest Shackleton @EShackleton]

"How familiar the coast seemed as we passed down: we saw with full interest the places we struggled over after the boat journey."

[Ernest Shackleton @EShackleton]

"At last we came to anchor in Grytviken."

[Ernest Shackleton @EShackleton]

[Shackleton suffered a heart attack at Rio, but recovered, and the expedition continued.]
