	Elephant Island (South Shetland Islands) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The island is approximately 10 km by 2 km in an east to west orientation, with a maximum elevation of 2795 feet (852 m) above sea level at Pardo Ridge.
		Significant named features of the island are Cape Yelcho, Cape Valentine and Cape Lookout at its northeastern and southernmost extremes, and Point Wild, a spit of land on its northern coast.
		Finally, the rescue was performed by the ship Yelcho, from Punta Arenas (Chile), commanded by Luis Pardo, August 30, 1916.

		Shackleton would not risk landing on the island himself and instead stayed on one of the landing boats close enough to the shore to be able to throw packets of cigarettes to the men massed on the shoreline.
		The Yelcho was retired from active Navy duty in 1945, but was still used as a ship’s tender at the Chilean School for Cabin Boys until 1958.
		YELCHO finally rescued the crew of the ENDURANCE in August during the dead of winter after several aborted attempts by other boats.

		The weather was fine, and the Yelcho made her 10 knots without difficulty, continuing on Tuesday until 17:00 hours, when the ship entered a zone of fog banks, but the blowing wind left some clearings allowing a visible horizon of 2 to 5 miles.
		Although the Yelcho was sailing in very dangerous waters, because of the ice and the fog, Pardo decided to do the utmost to reach the camp of the Englishmen before dark.
		All the naval ships formed their crew on deck, saluting the Yelcho, which came to her berth surrounded by a multitude of small vessels, while whistles and sirens made a deafening sound reflected by the hills that encircle the bay.

		The Yelcho, as we shall see in a moment, was to play the central role in the eventual rescue of the explorers.
		The nominal commander of the Yelcho was First Pilot Francisco Miranda, but he was ill (some sources hint that his illness was caused by his reluctance to face the dangers involved), and a replacement had to be found.
		Chilean navy men are very proud of their seamanship—as can be judged form the letter Pardo sent to his father—and we can safely assume that any attempt by Shackleton to impose his views on Pardo about the handling of the ship would have been met with courteous but total refusal.

		Ironically, it was Cook's own penchant for thoroughness that fueled the burst of activity that followed his voyage; he had noted in his log the large numbers of seals and whales he observed in the high latitudes.
		A northern party was deposited at Cape Adare in February 1911, where they repaired Borchgrevink's two huts and built a third winter hut of their own.
		Once the Cape Denison camp was under construction, the ship left to deposit the eight-man "western party" at the Shackleton Ice Shelf, where another camp was established.

		It was put there and is maintained by the Chileans, who have established Yelcho and Gabriel Gonzalez Videta bases in this area.
		Although navigating in Gerlache Strait must require careful attention, I don't think there is anything more dangerous about the Guesalaga Island area than a lot of other nearby places.
