Welcome Home from the Far South: The Hero of the Moment" captures the jubilant scene at Charing Cross Station in London on May 21, 1909, as Lieutenant Ernest Shackleton and his wife, Emily Debenham, make their way through the throngs of eager crowds after their arrival from the Antarctic. The successful Nimrod Expedition, led by Shackleton, had made history with groundbreaking scientific discoveries and the first attempt to reach the South Pole by man-hauled sled. The photograph depicts the popular welcome Shackleton received upon his return to England, with a sea of uplifted hats and cheering faces.
