Ice Crystals on roof of the Hut Porch, c1908, (1909)
Ice Crystals on roof of the Hut Porch, 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 print captures the mesmerizing beauty of ice crystals adorning the roof of a hut porch in Antarctica, circa 1908. The image is a testament to the remarkable achievements of Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton during his second expedition to the Antarctic from 1907 to 1909. Shackleton and his courageous companions achieved an unprecedented feat by reaching Farthest South latitude at 88° S, coming within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole. This incredible advance marked the largest progress towards the pole in exploration history, solidifying Shackleton's place among legendary explorers. Not only did they push boundaries on land, but members of Shackleton's team also conquered Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes. Their daring spirit and thirst for knowledge led them to undertake groundbreaking research in meteorology and oceanography. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third expedition while exploring sub-Antarctic regions. His legacy lives on through this stunning photograph and his written account "The Heart of Antarctic" which earned him knighthood from King Edward VII. As we gaze upon these intricate ice crystals glistening under wintry conditions, let us remember Ernest Shackleton's unwavering determination and passion for scientific discovery that paved the way for future expeditions to unravel nature's mysteries in this unforgiving yet awe-inspiring continent.
