Joyce and the Dogs in the Penguin Rookery, c1908, (1909)
Joyce and the Dogs in the Penguin Rookery, c1908, (1909). Royal Naval seaman and explorer Ernest Joyce with expedition dogs. 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 transports us back to a momentous era of exploration. In this image, we witness the indomitable spirit of Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton's second Antarctic expedition from 1907 to 1909. Here, we see one of Shackleton's trusted comrades, Royal Naval seaman and explorer Ernest Joyce, surrounded by a pack of loyal expedition dogs. The photograph captures the harsh beauty of Antarctica as Joyce stands amidst a bustling penguin rookery. These resilient birds serve as witnesses to humanity's audacious quest for discovery in one of Earth's most inhospitable regions. Shackleton's team achieved an extraordinary feat during this expedition - reaching an unprecedented latitude record at 88° S, just shy of the elusive South Pole. They also conquered Mount Erebus, braving its volcanic might. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his final oceanographic and sub-antarctic venture at only 47 years old. However, his legacy lives on through photographs like these that immortalize moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by an unknown photographer over a century ago, we are reminded not only of the courage exhibited by these explorers but also their enduring fascination with nature's wonders. This image serves as a testament to human resilience and our insatiable thirst for knowledge about our planet's remote corners.
