'A View of the Hut Looking Northwards.', c1908, (1909). 'On the left is shown Joyce's hut, made of cases. The stable and garage are on the right side of the hut, and on the extreme right is the snow-gauge. The instrument for recording atmospheric electricity projects from a corner of the roof. Open water can be seen about a mile away. The water alternately froze and broke up during the winter'. 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 88øS, 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]
