I was just reading a New York Times article about a whisky that was inspired by / modeled after whiskey that Sir Ernest Shackleton took with him to Antarctica, and I found this bit of description of him interesting:
"He was an instinctive, natural leader who somehow inspired others to share impossible hardships with him."

It also talks about what a shitty human being Shackleton was. 1
WEll . . . that sounds familiar, dudn'tit?
1 Which I didn't know about. Guess I should have finished watching that Branagh mini-series.
