Ice Flowers
“Took the camera to lead this morning
amidst similar gorgeous conditions of yesterday and more glorified perhaps
for a fine crop of ice flowers springing up on the lead and they,
illuminated by the morning sun, resemble a pink carnation” Hurley

“During night take flashlight of ship
beset by pressure, This necessitated some 20 flashes ,one behind each salient
pressure hummock, no less than 10 of the flashes being required to satisfactory
illuminate the ship herself. Half blinded after the successive flashes,
I lost my bearings amidst the hummocks ,bumping shins against projecting
ice points and stumbling into deep snow drifts.” Hurley Dairy Ref- E7 |

Ocean Camp.
This was there Shackleton and his men's first camp after the Endurance
was lost. They were here for a month. The ice floe was steadily drifting
north all the time while they were on the ice. Ref=E14 |

The men hauled the James Caird over the ice
for some 1¼ mile away to the new camp.
After being on the ice for a month at what Shackleton called Ocean camp
they moved to “Patience Camp” hauling two of the boats over
the ice floe. |
