One Thousand Feet Below The Active Cone, 1908, (1909)
One Thousand Feet Below The Active Cone, 1908, (1909). Members of the expedition who achieved the first ascent of Mount Erebus, Antarcticas second highest volcano. 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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "One Thousand Feet Below The Active Cone, 1908" captures a moment of triumph and exploration in the icy landscapes of Antarctica. In this historic image, members of the expedition led by Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton proudly stand before Mount Erebus, Antarctica's second highest volcano. Ernest Shackleton was a renowned adventurer who made three expeditions to the Antarctic. During his second expedition from 1907 to 1909, he achieved an incredible feat by reaching the Farthest South latitude at 88° S. This remarkable accomplishment brought him within a mere 97 geographical miles (112 statute miles or 180 km) from the elusive South Pole – marking it as the largest advance towards this goal in exploration history. Not only did Shackleton's team push boundaries on land, but they also conquered Mount Erebus itself. As smoke billows from its active cone behind them, these brave men bask in their achievement atop this majestic mountain. Sadly, Shackleton's adventurous spirit came with great risks. He met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic and sub-Antarctic expedition at just 47 years old. Nevertheless, his legacy lives on through photographs like this one that capture both the beauty and challenges faced by explorers in one of Earth's most extreme environments. This illustration is taken from "The Heart of the Antarctic" volume I by E. H. Shackleton himself – a testament to his dedication to documenting these extraordinary journeys for future generations to appreciate and admire.
