If you look closely, you can see some people headed towards that direction. Most people would not trek to a patch of ground with beehives - I would safely presume. It's important enough for some people to make that special trip to that area... The stones whould be a giveaway.

Are we perhaps talking about a cemetery?

That may be it, Dutchy, and in some cold place judging from the snow. Maybe it is has to do with ancient grave sites.

A wild guess, cemetery on Halifax Island with Titanic victims?

Not Halifax Island, and nothing to do with the Titanic.

C.I., Is it a private cemetery, or one of ancient interest. We'll never get there at this rate, dear.

Not Panama.

"World famoust" might be a stretch, but he's pretty well known.

The whaler's cemetery at Grytviken is the final resting place of Ernest Shackleton.

Some explanations for my confusion. I visited Grytviken during my cruise to Antarctica, and considered South Georgia as "Antarctica." My mistake.

One of the reason I did this cruise was to visit the "last frontier" and the last continent on my list of places to visit.

A few months before my cruise to Antarctica, I was on a trans-Atlantic cruise from Lisbon to Barbados where I met an admiral. I was telling him about my upcoming cruise to Antarctica, and he recommended that I read "Endorance," the book that details Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole.

Whiile on the Antarctic cruise, the ship played a movie about Ernest Shakleton many times that I watched off and on. A few months after that cruise, I was in London to participate in the a2k gathering, and had the opportunity to visit the Maritime Museum for about the third time, and they now have on display the James Cairn, the 22-foot boat they used in the making of the movie. Unfortunately, the Martime Museum no longer allows photographs to be taken inside.

For those of you that enjoys real life heroes, please read Endurance. You'll be hooked on Shackleton.
