Depot A, Laid Out In The Spring, 1908, (1909)
Depot A, Laid Out In The Spring, 1908, (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 essence of Depot A, laid out in the spring of 1908 during Ernest Shackleton's second Antarctic expedition. The renowned Anglo-Irish explorer, Shackleton, along with his three companions, achieved a remarkable feat by reaching the Farthest South latitude at 88° S. Their incredible journey fell only 97 geographical miles short of the elusive South Pole, marking it as the largest advancement towards this goal in exploration history. In addition to their record-breaking achievement, members of Shackleton's team also conquered Mount Erebus, an active volcano situated in Antarctica. This monochrome illustration is taken from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I by E. H. Shackleton himself and was published in London in 1909. Ernest Shackleton received knighthood from King Edward VII for his extraordinary accomplishments on these expeditions. Unfortunately, tragedy struck during his third and final oceanographic and sub-Antarctic expedition when he passed away at the age of 47. This image showcases a snowy landscape dotted with camp structures and ponies that were essential for transportation across treacherous terrains. It offers a glimpse into the harsh weather conditions faced by these brave explorers as they ventured further into uncharted territories. Preserved through time, this photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in pushing boundaries beyond what was previously thought possible.
