Survival in Limbo, and Frank Wild to be buried next to Shackleton at Grytviken

I've **always** wanted to hear this story and never knew that there was a documentary about it:

From the South Georgia Newsletter:
Explorer and broadcaster Duncan Carse made several expeditions and visits to South Georgia between the 1950s and 1980. His first three expeditions were to map the Island with small teams of men man-hauling equipment the length of the Island on sledges. His fourth expedition was very different indeed. It was to be an 18 month experiment in living alone in an extremely remote cove on the south coast of the Island at South Undine Harbour. He was landed there by a whaling vessel in 1961 with all his stores and equipment and materials to erect a hut to live in. He told the whalers not to return before the 18 months were up. Three months into the experiment, he and his hut were washed away by huge waves. Somehow he survived and had to salvage what he could to survive for months until a concerned whaling manger decided to ignore Carse's instructions and sent a vessel to check and see how he was faring. In 1976 Duncan Carse returned to make a documentary about the experience.

Here's a link to this documentary, in 7 short parts on YouTube:

AND in a most intensely interesting bit of Age of Exploration history, Frank Wild is to be buried next to Shackleton in the Grytviken cemetery. Full story: http://bit.ly/nm7Niz
