The Northern Party at the South Magnetic Pole, 17 January 1909
The Northern Party at the South Magnetic Pole from Left - Dr. Mackay, Professor David, Douglas Mawson, 17 January 1909. Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) made three expeditions to the Antarctic. During the second expedition, 1907-1909, Alastair Mackay, Edgeworth David, and Douglas Mawson reached the Southern Magnetic Pole. Unlike the geographic South Pole, the magnetic South Pole is not a fixed point, but wanders over the surface of the Earth as the magnetic field surrounding the planet fluctuates. In 1909, it was still accessible over land. Shackleton and three companions also 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. Illustration from The Heart of the Antarctic, Vol. I, by E. H. Shackleton, C.V.O. [William Heinemann, London, 1909]

The Northern Party at the South Magnetic Pole, 17 January 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a historic moment in Antarctic exploration. The image captures the Northern Party at the South Magnetic Pole on January 17th, 1909. Led by renowned Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton, this expedition marked a significant milestone in human achievement. Standing proudly from left to right are Dr. Mackay, Professor David, and Douglas Mawson - three brave individuals who reached the Southern Magnetic Pole during Shackleton's second expedition to Antarctica between 1907-1909. Unlike the geographic South Pole which remains fixed, the magnetic South Pole wanders across Earth's surface due to fluctuations in our planet's magnetic field. This photograph also commemorates another remarkable feat accomplished by Shackleton and his companions. They established a new record for Farthest South latitude at an astonishing 88° S - a mere distance of only 97 geographical miles (112 statute miles or 180 km) away from the elusive South Pole itself. The exhaustion etched on their faces tells tales of hardship endured during their arduous journey through treacherous terrains and extreme weather conditions. Yet despite their fatigue, they stand tall beside their nation's flag -the Union Jack- symbolizing not just personal triumph but also national pride. Preserved within these monochrome frames is an indelible testament to human resilience and determination against nature's harshest challenges. This iconic illustration originates from "The Heart of the Antarctic" written by E. H. Shackleton himself in 1909; it serves as both documentation and inspiration for future generations of explorers seeking to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible.
