South Georgia Island stands alone in the path of relentless storms and high winds in the South Atlantic Ocean. It's the final resting place of famed explorer Ernest Shackleton and a place whose savage beauty has captivated wilderness guide and expedition leader Hayley Shephard for more than 1o years.

A story of solitary endurance, passion and survival, it's an intimate look at one woman's quest to find her place in the world.
