EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of exploration and camaraderie as Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, Dr. Edward Wilson, and Mr. Hartley Ferrar are harnessed to a sledge during the National Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903). The trio is dressed in Burberry cloth, ready to face the harsh conditions of the icy landscape.
The sledge carries their personal flags proudly, while a Norwegian pram (skiff) is visible in case of emergency on the ice. A tent and essential supplies such as furs and 14 days' worth of food are also loaded onto the sled, showcasing their preparedness for any challenges that may come their way.
In the background, a sweeping slope of hills covered in snow adds to the dramatic scenery surrounding these brave explorers. This historic photograph was published in Illustrated London News in July 1903, giving viewers a glimpse into the daring adventures undertaken by Shackleton and his team during this groundbreaking expedition.
As we look at this image frozen in time, we can't help but feel inspired by the courage and determination displayed by these men as they push forward into unknown territory, united in their quest for discovery amidst the unforgiving beauty of Antarctica.
