Dumb-Bell Cloud Above Erebus, c1908, (1909)
Dumb-Bell Cloud Above Erebus, 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 photo print, titled "Dumb-Bell Cloud Above Erebus, c1908" captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the Antarctic landscape during Ernest Shackleton's second expedition. Shackleton, an Anglo-Irish explorer renowned for his Antarctic endeavors in the early 20th century, achieved remarkable feats during this particular journey. Accompanied by three companions, Shackleton set a new record for Farthest South latitude at an impressive 88° S. Their courageous push brought them within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole – a monumental achievement that remains etched in exploration history. In addition to their groundbreaking progress towards the pole, members of Shackleton's team also conquered Mount Erebus. This active volcano stands as one of Antarctica's most prominent landmarks and provided a breathtaking backdrop for their daring ascent. The photograph showcases a unique cloud formation resembling dumbbells hovering above Mount Erebus. Its ethereal presence adds an otherworldly touch to this already mesmerizing scene. Ernest Shackleton's contributions to polar exploration earned him great recognition; he was knighted by King Edward VII for his exceptional achievements. Sadly, his life was cut short during his final oceanographic and sub-antarctic expedition at just 47 years old. Preserved within the pages of The Heart of the Antarctic, Vol. I by E. H. Shackleton himself, this illustration serves as a testament to both the indomitable spirit of exploration and the stunning natural wonders found in Antarctica.
