Digging to ascertain the depth of snow covering a depot, c1908, (1909)

Digging to ascertain the depth of snow covering a depot left by the Discovery expedition, c1908, (1909). Expedition members dig down to find supplies left by Robert F Scott and his team, 1901-1904. 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 a moment of determination and exploration in the vast snowy landscape of Antarctica. Taken during the Discovery expedition led by Robert F Scott, it depicts members of Ernest Shackleton's team digging through layers of snow to uncover supplies left behind by their predecessors. Ernest Shackleton, an Anglo-Irish explorer renowned for his Antarctic expeditions, made significant contributions to polar exploration. During his second expedition from 1907 to 1909, he achieved a remarkable feat by reaching the Farthest South latitude at 88° S, coming within a mere 97 geographical miles of the elusive South Pole. This record-breaking advance marked a pivotal moment in the history of exploration. In addition to this milestone, Shackleton's team also conquered Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes. Their relentless pursuit pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of this unforgiving continent. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic expedition at the age of 47. However, his legacy lives on through photographs like this one that capture both the harsh beauty and indomitable spirit found in these icy landscapes. This illustration is sourced from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I written by E. H. Shackleton himself and published in London in 1909. It serves as a testament to not only Shackleton's achievements but also to the bravery and resilience exhibited by all those who ventured into these treacherous lands in search of knowledge and discovery.
