'Facsimile of Page of Shackleton's Diary', 4 January 1909. Page of Shackleton's diary on the way to establishing the Farthest South record: '...we are weakening rapidly, short food and a blizzard wind from the South with driving drift...' 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. Shackleton was treated as a hero on his return to England, but his record was to stand for less than three years, being passed by Amundsen on 7 December 1911. Illustration from The Heart of the Antarctic, Vol. I, by E. H. Shackleton, C.V.O. [William Heinemann, London, 1909]
