Side of Ferrar Glacier. Figure of Man in Lower Left Corner, c1908, (1909)
Side of Ferrar Glacier. Figure of Man in Lower Left Corner, 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 awe-inspiring Side of Ferrar Glacier in Antarctica, circa 1908. In the lower left corner stands a solitary figure, none other than the legendary Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton himself. Known for his daring expeditions to the Antarctic, Shackleton made history during his second expedition from 1907 to 1909. During this remarkable journey, Shackleton and three companions achieved an unprecedented feat by reaching Farthest South latitude at an astonishing 88° S. Their incredible progress brought them within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole, marking the largest advance towards it in exploration history. Not content with their groundbreaking achievement alone, members of Shackleton's team also conquered Mount Erebus – the most active volcano in Antarctica. These extraordinary accomplishments earned Shackleton a knighthood from King Edward VII as recognition for his exceptional contributions to scientific discovery and exploration. Tragically, Ernest Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic and sub-antarctic expedition at just 47 years old. However, through this mesmerizing illustration taken from The Heart of the Antarctic by E. H. Shackleton himself in 1909, we are reminded of his indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to pushing boundaries in one of Earth's harshest environments. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Ernest Shackleton's enduring legacy but also to mankind's insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure that continues to drive us forward into uncharted territories even today.
