The Camp Below The Cloudmaker. c1908, (1909)
The Camp Below The Cloudmaker. 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 from The Heart of the Antarctic, Vol. I, by E. H. Shackleton, C.V.O. [William Heinemann, London, 1909]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Camp Below The Cloudmaker" takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a moment from Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton's second expedition to the Antarctic. In this image, we see a group of brave men setting up camp in an incredibly remote and harsh environment. Shackleton, known for his remarkable achievements in exploration, led his team to establish a new record for Farthest South latitude at 88° S. Their location was just 97 geographical miles away from the elusive South Pole, marking the largest advance towards it in history. This feat alone solidified Shackleton's place among the great explorers of his time. Not only did they push boundaries on land but also conquered Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes. These courageous individuals faced extreme weather conditions and treacherous terrain as they embarked on their daring journey into the unknown. Sadly, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third expedition while exploring oceanography and sub-Antarctic regions. However, he left behind an enduring legacy that continues to inspire adventurers today. This monochrome illustration comes from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I by E. H. Shackleton himself. It serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience and determination in conquering nature's harshest challenges.
