Silver Explorer Expedition Team at Point Wild_Jan 2012January 18, 2012 was very special for the Silver Explorer and their Expedition Team because they accomplished a first in the ship’s history,  landing guests at Point Wild, Elephant Island. 

This is the location where  survivors of the Shackleton Expedition of 1914 – 1916 lived under 2 lifeboats for more than 4.5 months while hoping for rescue.  Not only is this one of the historically most significant locations in the Antarctic but it is also one of the most difficult sites to land at due to its very exposed location which is usually subject to high winds and heavy seas.  In fact the Expedition Leader had been trying to land at this very small spit just barely above the ocean for the past 10 years without success!
