A question might arise - aren't the above articles fake ? It is a legitimate question, and I am unable to rule out that possibility. But I surely won't compare Sir Ernest Shackleton's “Endurance” with Ourang Medan.

My personal experience

Here is a three-piece set relative to my personal experience with Sir Ernest Shackleton:

① "South - The Endurance Expedition" (Ernest Shackleton)

② A card from the "Leadership at the Edge" training (not the Ten Commandments)

③ Penguins (free gift), and the rockhopper penguin is my favorite🐧

In April 1997, I went to Cape Cod, MA for a worldwide conference by the US company I worked for when I lived in Hong Kong. During the conference there was a learning session titled "Leadership at the edge" based on Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition. I received ② & ③ in the training.
And one year later, my friend gave me ①, which I read a few times and is clearly torn.

All ①~③ are memories of the distant past when EE.UU still had sanity...

The location

Sir Ernest Shackleton rests in an island in the South Atlantic Ocean.

...this is as the boss would have had it himself, standing lonely on an island far from civilization, surrounded by a stormy tempestuous sea, and in the vicinity of one of his greatest exploits.

by Alexander Macklin, the expedition's physician

The Grave of Ernest Shackleton

It is literally a remote island I mentioned in my article:

The place is called Grytviken.

A Celtic cross can be seen by the tombstone. (Image via Pinterest)

P.S. (1) The article below tells about iceberg A23a:

P.S. (2) The map below clearly shows the location of Antarctica in relation to the other continents:

P.S. (3) For my travel to Cape Cod in April 1997, I took the following round-the-world route. It was before the formation of Sar Alliance and One World:
