Mountainous Seas, c1908, (1909)
Mountainous Seas, c1908, (1909). Rough waves in the Southern Ocean seen from the Nimrod. 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
Mountainous Seas, c1908, (1909). A captivating print captures the raw power of the Southern Ocean as rough waves crash against the Nimrod. This image is a testament to the remarkable achievements of Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton during his second expedition to Antarctica from 1907-1909. Shackleton and his brave companions made history by reaching Farthest South latitude at an astonishing 88° S, coming within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole. Their courageous journey remains one of the greatest advances towards this uncharted territory in exploration history. Not only did Shackleton's team push boundaries on land, but they also conquered Mount Erebus, an active volcano in Antarctica. The sheer determination and resilience displayed by these explorers are truly awe-inspiring. Sadly, Shackleton's passion for discovery ultimately led to his untimely demise during his third oceanographic and sub-Antarctic expedition. His legacy lives on through this powerful photograph that encapsulates both the beauty and danger inherent in exploring such treacherous waters. This illustration comes from 'The Heart of the Antarctic, ' Volume I, written by E. H. Shackleton himself and published in London in 1909. It serves as a poignant reminder of Shackleton's indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries in pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote regions.
