Jinn’s Jar
Residents relate the story of a 115-year old man, a member of WWI’s legendary ‘Wild Division’ cavalry, who said the elders of his day called the lake ‘Jinn’s Jar’, referring to powerful, demon-like spirits said to live in vessels shaped like lamps or jars and also because the lake’s shape resembled an inverted jar or lamp with narrowing neck downwards to a lip at its bottom.

A fictional recounting of the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, and her extraordinary fight to get there
It’s the early 1930s. Antarctic open-sea whaling is booming and new commercial giant Unilever has a stranglehold on the industry. The territorial race for Antarctica is also in full swing, with Sir Douglas Mawson voyaging on Discovery to reinforce British-Australian interests and pre-empt Norwegian claims. Amelia Earhart is blazing a trail (on land and in the air) for intrepid women, but although women have been applying to join Antarctic expeditions for more than 20 years, none have been accepted.
Against this backdrop, the resupply vessel Thorshavn sets sail from Cape Town, carrying the Norwegian whaling magnate Lars Christensen and fuel for his fleet of factory ships, which are hunting whales through the uncharted wild waters of the Southern Ocean to the very edge of the Antarctic ice.
