- A unique adventure in August September 2014, led by Skip Novak and Stephen Venables, which sailed from Stanley FI to South Georgia on board Pelagic Australis to attempt the winter climbing of peaks in South Georgia. After being frustrated by weather in the Salvesen Range the team eventually summited the three Trident peaks before returning after nearly 4 weeks to the Falklands. This story brings a whole new meaning to the concept of "Frostbite" sailing! For more on this story see www.pelagic.co.uk/pagesnews/ne...

Wonderful episode! Thanks so much for sharing.
My god those views are just amazing. What an adventure.
OMG I've seen lots of terrifying sailing videos but this one takes the cake. The ice! Over everything. The cold. The waves. That there would be my idea of hell. Interesting and beautiful but my personal terror.
In those days, this moovie reminds me the first days on a shore of lake Vättern, Sweden. It was windy, icy and very cool. Thank you!
Beautiful! And wonderful little ship. But, I wish you could have shown pictures of the old whaling station. Ever since reading Shackleton’s Endurance I’ve always wanted to visit South Georgia.
Superb
As someone who considers a sail from Anegada to Jost van Dyke in 4 meter following seas a harrowing journey, rewarded by a strenuous trek up the beach to Foxy’s for a much needed drink, I cannot relate to the desire to sail and then climb in the high latitudes in any way.
But kudos to these guys wanting to do so, and doing it successfully.
Been there, Leith, Stromness and Husvik, as well as Grytviken
I am amazed by the Shackleton Expedition, but I can only imaging what people like Skip think about it.
CONGRATULATIONS AND SUCCESS!

Ballistic effort boy's! Thankyou for summiting what looked like a hostile peak in reasonable conditions.Good luck with any other attempts in the future.Your in the hard corps division in my books.regards ado n spud.
Yep ... hard corps division
Always a good time when you have to get the orange hammer out to bash ice off the rigging!
I wonder how you deal with frozen gear around the boat, and also whether it becomes slippery on deck with the ide accumulation. I admire the skills and spirit. Stay safe!
The ocean must been a marvelous place before , Clean Full life
Used to be
Still is

What accent does that guy have? I cant place it.
3:17 Wow You think You've got problems with your furling system....!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)
The men on deck are trying to chip off sea ice with a tiny ball pein hammer and a screwdriver, yet it turns out you had a load of ice axes on board for the climbers, they would have made a better job on that sea ice than the screwdriver!
@Sailing Resolution I've worked on trawlers off places like Iceland and Greenland and the tools used to knock off ice are not sharp at all, a bit like you.
