Shackleton's Booze Found In The Antarctic

“To our amazement we found five crates, three labeled as containing whiskey and two labeled as containing brandy,” Al Fastier, of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust, told AFP. The real bonus was the unexpected discovery of the contents of the brandy crates, one labeled Chas McKinlay & Co and the other labeled The Hunter Valley Distillery Limited Allandale, he added.

Ernest Shackleton is one of my explorer heroes, and if you haven't read this epic tale of survival then be sure to put it on your reading list: Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. Simply amazing.
