The Southern Party Marching into the White Unknown, 1908, (1909)
The Southern Party Marching into the White Unknown, 1908, (1909). Expedition members Frank Wild, Ernest Shackleton, Lieutenant Colonel Eric Marshall and Captain Jameson Adams. 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
is a captivating print that captures the spirit of exploration and adventure in the early 20th century. The image showcases four brave expedition members - Frank Wild, Ernest Shackleton, Lieutenant Colonel Eric Marshall, and Captain Jameson Adams - who were part of Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton's second Antarctic expedition. During this remarkable journey from 1907 to 1909, Shackleton and his companions achieved an unprecedented feat by reaching the Farthest South latitude at 88° S. They came within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole, marking one of the greatest advancements in polar exploration history. In addition to their incredible progress towards the pole, they also conquered Mount Erebus, Antarctica's most active volcano. This photograph not only commemorates their extraordinary achievements but also pays tribute to their unwavering determination and courage in facing extreme weather conditions and unknown territories. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for discovery. Ernest Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII for his contributions to exploration before tragically passing away during his final oceanographic expedition at just 47 years old. "The Southern Party Marching into the White Unknown" encapsulates both the triumphs and challenges faced by these intrepid explorers while offering us a glimpse into an era defined by its thirst for knowledge and unyielding spirit of adventure.
