Glacier South of Cape Barne, with motor travelling on sea ice, c1908, (1909)

Glacier South of Cape Barne, with motor travelling on sea ice, c1908, (1909). Specially adapted car which was used to establish two supply depots. Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) made three expeditions to the Antarctic. During the second expedition, 1907-1909, he and three companions established a new record, Farthest South latitude at 88° S, only 97 geographical miles (112 statute miles, or 180 km) from the South Pole, the largest advance to the pole in exploration history. Members of his team also climbed Mount Erebus, the most active volcano in the Antarctic. Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII for these achievements. He died during his third and last oceanographic and sub-antarctic expedition, aged 47. Illustration from The Heart of the Antarctic, Vol. I, by E. H. Shackleton, C.V.O. [William Heinemann, London, 1909]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous expedition in the early 20th century. The image showcases a specially adapted car, traversing the vast expanse of sea ice near Cape Barne in Antarctica. This remarkable vehicle was used by Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton and his team to establish two crucial supply depots during their second Antarctic expedition from 1907 to 1909. Shackleton, an intrepid adventurer, made significant contributions to exploration history. He and three companions achieved an unprecedented feat by reaching the Farthest South latitude at 88° S, coming within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole. Their record-breaking advance marked a pivotal moment in polar exploration. In addition to this extraordinary accomplishment, members of Shackleton's team also conquered Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes. These achievements earned Shackleton knighthood from King Edward VII as recognition for his exceptional bravery and determination. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his final oceanographic and sub-antarctic expedition at the age of 47. However, his legacy lives on through photographs like this one that capture the spirit of adventure and discovery that defined him. This illustration is sourced from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I by E. H. Shackleton himself – a testament to both his exploratory endeavors and literary talents. It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to uncover nature's secrets even in remote corners such as Antarctica.
