		Elephant Island appeared off the ship's bow yesterday, a series of fl crags jutting into a lowering sky.
		Unlike the king and gentoo penguins we encountered in South Georgia, which seemed to enjoy serene meditative companionship, Elephant's chinstraps were a raucous brawling bunch, slapping each other silly with flailing flippers and filching stones from one another's nests.
		It is possible that modern-day explorers could survive for the short number of days prior to being rescued, but it is arguable that only someone of Shackleton's character could instill the belief required to survive for longer.

		I may remark, that in Abyssinia the elephant, according to Bruce, when it cannot reach with its proboscis the branches, deeply scores with its tusks the trunk of the tree, up and down and all round, till it is sufficiently weakened to be broken down.
		We must enumerate the elephant, three species of rhinoceros, and probably, according to Dr. Smith, two others, the hippopotamus, the giraffe, the bos caffer -- as large as a full-grown bull, and the elan -- but little less, two zebras, and the quaccha, two gnus, and several antelopes even larger than these latter animals.
		The elephant actress, as I was informed, weighed one ton less; so that we may take five as the average of a full-grown elephant.
