Ernest Shackleton, known by those in his famously failed expeditions as the Boss, stayed at the hotel, in those days owned by the epynomous Nogueira, while making repeated attempts to rescue the bulk of his crew when they were stranded on Elephant Island. One legend has him firing a gunshot into the roof of the bar when it was time to round up sailors for a rescue mission.
Today the walls are adorned with a series of paintings depicting the trevail and ultimate rescue of the Endurance crew.
Now, excuse me while I go down a cold one at the Boss' bar.

Boozin' with the ghost of Ernie Shakleton! Now you can freeze to a satisfied death.
Bob is just mad because you are not drinking Knob Creek.
Maybe you could just cook up some Seal blubber and Penguin flank steak.
Even Mr. Hemmingway prolly didn't do that
