This was the last stop on our trip.
There is a LOT of interesting history at Deception Island. I recently learned that it was the initial plan for Shackleton after they left the ice; however, after three days on the Weddell Sea, they got a location fix and realized there was no way the would ever get to Deception Island so they changed plans "on the fly" and went to Elephant Island instead (which was the first stop of our trip).
