Music in the Hut, c1908, (1909)
Music in the Hut, c1908, (1909). Expedition members gather round a gramophone player. 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
In this photograph, taken during the Nimrod Expedition of 1907-1909, we see a group of expedition members gathered around a gramophone player in their hut. Led by the renowned Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton, these brave men embarked on a daring journey to the Antarctic. Shackleton's second expedition proved to be historic as they achieved an incredible feat - reaching the Farthest South latitude at 88° S, just 97 geographical miles away from the South Pole. This remarkable advancement towards uncharted territories marked a significant milestone in exploration history. Amidst their arduous mission, these courageous individuals found solace and joy in music. The gramophone player served as a source of entertainment and respite from the harsh conditions they faced daily. As they huddled together in their humble abode, surrounded by freezing temperatures and vast expanses of ice, music brought them warmth and camaraderie. The image also captures another aspect of life on this extraordinary expedition - smoking pipes were common among explorers during that era. It is fascinating to witness how these men sought comfort not only through music but also through simple pleasures like smoking. Ernest Shackleton's legacy lives on through his groundbreaking achievements and unwavering spirit of adventure. Though he tragically passed away during his final oceanographic endeavor, his contributions to Antarctic exploration remain unparalleled. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to both the hardships endured by these intrepid explorers and their ability to find moments of joy amidst adversity.
