Cave Cove

Cave Cove is a small cove on King Haakon Bay, South Georgia, best known for its connection to Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. It was where the James Caird landed on 10 May 1916 after its tumultuous voyage from Elephant Island, and this is commemorated by a small plaque in the rock. While at Cave Cove, the men fed on albatross. Henry McNeish wrote, "We have not been as comfortable for the last five weeks, We had 3 young & 1 old albatross for lunch with 1 pint of gravy which beets [sic] all the chicken soup I ever tasted."
