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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Night-Watchman, c1908" takes us back to the early 20th century in Antarctica. Physicist Douglas Mawson is depicted on nightwatch duty inside the hut at Cape Royds, during Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton's second expedition to the Antarctic. Shackleton, a renowned explorer who made three expeditions to this icy continent, achieved a remarkable feat during this particular journey. Alongside three companions, he established a new record for Farthest South latitude at an impressive 88° S. Their location was just 97 geographical miles away from the South Pole – the largest advancement ever made towards this uncharted territory in exploration history. Not only did Shackleton and his team push boundaries by reaching such extreme latitudes, but they also conquered Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes. These extraordinary accomplishments led King Edward VII to knight Shackleton for his exceptional achievements. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic and sub-antarctic expedition at the age of 47. However, his legacy lives on through iconic images like this one captured by Sir Douglas Mawson. This monochrome illustration comes from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I by E. H. Shackleton C. V. O. , published in London in 1909 by William Heinemann. It serves as a poignant reminder of these brave explorers' dedication and determination amidst harsh conditions as they ventured into unknown territories for scientific discovery and human achievement.
