Marshall Outside a Tent, at the Camp, c1908, (1909)
Marshall Outside a Tent, at the Camp from which Shackleton and Wild pressed on to the Ship, c1908, (1909). British explorer Lieutenant Colonel Eric Marshall (1879-1963) was one of the party of four men who reached Furthest South at 88° 23s 162° 00 E on 9 January 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
The captivating print captures Lieutenant Colonel Eric Marshall outside a tent at the camp, circa 1908. This particular camp served as the starting point for Ernest Shackleton and Frank Wild's daring journey towards their ship during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909. Marshall, an esteemed British explorer, was part of the four-man team that achieved a remarkable feat by reaching Furthest South at 88° 23'S 162°00'E on January 9th, 1909. Ernest Shackleton himself was an Anglo-Irish explorer who made significant contributions to Antarctic exploration. During his second expedition (1907-1909), he and three companions set a new record for Farthest South latitude at an astonishing 88° S - just a mere distance of 97 geographical miles from the elusive South Pole. Their achievement marked one of the most substantial advancements in polar exploration history. Shackleton's accomplishments extended beyond reaching extreme latitudes; his team also conquered Mount Erebus, which is renowned as Antarctica's most active volcano. These extraordinary achievements earned him knighthood from King Edward VII. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic and sub-Antarctic expedition when he was only forty-seven years old. This evocative illustration is sourced from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I by E. H. Shackleton C. V. O. , published in London in 1909 by William Heinemann. It serves as a testament to both Marshall's indomitable spirit and Shackleton's enduring legacy in exploring Earth's last frontier.
