One last adventure, part 2/8

A story about Sir Ernest Shackleton

This is no film, but a short story I wrote a few years back about polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. It is illustrated in my own drawings, as well as original footage combined with shots from the films "The Endurance" (2000 White Mountain Films), "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure (2001, White Mountain Films/NOVA) as well as the A&E TV-series "Shackleton" (2002).

The story, set around ship's surgeon Alexander Macklin, is not mainly about the great adventure, but about that which sprung out of it, as Macklin travels back south with Shackleton on the "Quest", remembering the "Endurance" expedition.

Please note that English is not my first language, if any errors may annoy you.

Kristina - I must disagree with other posters who have criticized your narration and the sound of your voice. Despite my own Swedish ancestry (my grandfather came to America from Söderfors at age 20), I don't believe I'm biased. You certainly don't have the "accent" he had! (In fact, your voice sounded a bit Irish at first...) Your drawings are also well done. Your work shows a great deal of effort: writing the story, gathering film clips and photos, and piecing it all together.

bad narrator. period.

[AngelKate5]

The narration is lifeless and doesn't add value. Would improve if replaced. Very Nice drawings.

[kidballistic]

The worst narrator ever. She talks like she has a penis in her mouth. Just give me the facts, enough with the long winded made up emotional speculations. I doubt I will make it to part 8 even though I am very interested in this story-
