Flight of Antarctic Petrels, c1908, (1909)
Flight of Antarctic Petrels, c1908, (1909). 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 the breathtaking Flight of Antarctic Petrels, taken around 1908 during Ernest Shackleton's second expedition to the Antarctic. Shackleton, a renowned Anglo-Irish explorer, led this daring venture alongside three companions. Together, they achieved an extraordinary feat by establishing a new record for Farthest South latitude at 88° S – a mere 97 geographical miles away from the elusive South Pole. This remarkable accomplishment marked the largest advance towards the pole in exploration history. During their expedition, Shackleton and his team also conquered Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica. The image showcases these magnificent seabirds soaring gracefully through the vast expanse of sea surrounding them. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful moment frozen in time. Ernest Shackleton's contributions to polar exploration were so significant that he was knighted by King Edward VII as recognition for his achievements. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic and sub-Antarctic expedition at just 47 years old. This illustration is sourced from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I authored by E. H. Shackleton himself in 1909. It serves as a testament to both his indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries in pursuit of scientific knowledge about our planet's most remote regions.
