Full Moon in the Winter, c1908, (1909). Artist: George Marston
Full Moon in the Winter, c1908, (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 after an original painting by George Marston (1882-1940) the expedition artist, from The Heart of the Antarctic, Vol. I, by E. H. Shackleton, C.V.O. [William Heinemann, London, 1909]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Full Moon in the Winter, c1908" by artist George Marston takes us back to a momentous time in history. It depicts the Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton and his team during their second expedition to the Antarctic from 1907-1909. The image showcases the vastness of the frozen landscape as they ventured towards uncharted territories. Shackleton's remarkable achievements are highlighted in this artwork. He and his companions set a new record for Farthest South latitude at 88° S, coming within a mere 97 geographical miles of reaching the elusive South Pole. Their courageous journey remains one of exploration's greatest advancements towards this icy pinnacle. The painting also pays homage to Mount Erebus, an active volcano that members of Shackleton's team successfully climbed during their expedition. This feat adds another layer of awe-inspiring accomplishment to their already impressive resume. George Marston skillfully captures the beauty and serenity of a full moon illuminating this wintry Antarctic scene. The play between light and shadow creates an ethereal atmosphere, emphasizing both the harshness and tranquility found in such extreme environments. This historical photograph serves as a testament to Shackleton's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination amidst unforgiving conditions. It stands as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and exploration into uncharted territories, even against all odds.
