This photo print, titled "Group photograph of shore party (British Antarctic Expedition 1907-09. Leader: Ernest Shackleton)" offers a remarkable glimpse into the heroic and daring spirit of exploration that defined the early 20th century. Captured by the renowned University of Cambridge SPRI at the Scott Polar Research Institute, this historic image transports us back to a time when intrepid adventurers braved treacherous conditions in pursuit of scientific discovery. The composition showcases a diverse group of individuals who formed part of Shackleton's team during their ambitious expedition to the icy wilderness.
