Western Party in camp on December 20, 1908, (1909)
Western Party in camp on December 20, 1908, (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 a Western Party in camp on December 20,1908, during Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton's second Antarctic expedition. Shackleton, renowned for his fearless exploration of the icy continent, made history by reaching the Farthest South latitude at an impressive 88° S. This remarkable achievement brought him within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole. In this image, we see Shackleton and his fellow explorers braving the harsh elements of Antarctica as they establish their campsite. The towering mountains and vast expanse of snow create a breathtaking backdrop that highlights both the beauty and isolation of this remote land. The photograph not only showcases the physical challenges faced by these brave men but also hints at their unwavering determination to push boundaries and conquer uncharted territories. It serves as a testament to human resilience in extreme conditions. Ernest Shackleton's legacy lives on through his numerous expeditions and groundbreaking achievements. His relentless pursuit of knowledge about this unforgiving region has left an indelible mark on exploration history. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of both the triumphs and sacrifices made by those who dared to venture into Earth's most inhospitable corners.
