In 1914, an expedition led by scientist Alexander Stevens set out on a ship called the Aurora from Tasmania en route to Antarctica. They traveled there to support an effort by Sir Ernest Shackleton to lead the first expedition to cross the entire continent.
This particular effort would fail. The ship led by Shackleton’s group was caught in pack ice off the shores of Antarctica and crushed, while the Aurora broke loose from its moorings off the coast of Antarctica in a heavy storm in 1914, leaving the expedition stranded until the ship was found, repaired, and returned in 1917 to retrieve them.
The crew of the Aurora completed many of their objectives despite the loss of the ship, but the loss of the other ship would render their presence somewhat moot.
our house has four fridge poetry sets: erotic fridge poetry (gift from my mother), star trek fridge poetry (I bought it on etsy), aphorism fridge poetry (gift from @swordfern’s mother), and s*pernatural fridge poetry (swordfern bought it). @pirisquills has not yet contributed a weird set, but has authored many delightful dirty refrigerator poems for us to enjoy.
