If you’re in Wellington you can pay tribute to the true hero — Mrs Chippy — at this monument. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/mrs-chippy-monument

This toot-thread was inspired by this woefully misleading children’s book which has the audacity to mention Mrs Chippy but not that Ernie ordered her murder in (literal) cold blood.

5/5

Tonight’s supper reading, Mensun Bound’s “The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton’s Endurance”. I was lucky to get a signed copy from my local bookshop. I rarely read print now due to neuro disease, but this one’s layout and structure is me friendly.

An #unrealEngine visualization project I must return to - a flying virtual tour of #SouthGeorgia #island with an 'introduction' by #ErnestShackleton. This was created using an early version of #CesiumforUnreal, so it'll be interesting to revisit and update in the future when I have some time! Hope you enjoy it. #subAntarctic #digitalHistory #GIS #unrealEngine
