I'm surprised no one else has thought to post this. Only the mountaineering left to be done! All without modern nav aids, freeze dried grub and Goretex.

If we all had a Worsley aboard, we'd have little need of GPS. Mind you, Frank probably ate more.

I guess the Olympics rather overshadowed their glory. The team were based in Portland before the Olympics arrived and I had the pleasure of spending an evening with them - fascinating. They were getting quite a bit of coverage, but that seemed to die when the Olympics moved in. That said, the marina yearbook does feature the expedition and their website has a good write-up on the prep.
