The Manchurian Ponies on Quail Island, Port Lyttelton, c1907, (1909)
The Manchurian Ponies on Quail Island, Port Lyttelton, Before The Expedition Left for the Antarctic, New Zealand, c1907, (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 captures a significant moment in the life of renowned Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton. Taken on Quail Island, Port Lyttelton, New Zealand around 1907, it showcases "The Manchurian Ponies" that accompanied Shackleton during his second expedition to the Antarctic from 1907-1909. Shackleton's remarkable achievements are highlighted in this image. Alongside three companions, he set a new record for Farthest South latitude at an impressive 88° S, coming within a mere 97 geographical miles of reaching the elusive South Pole. This feat marked the largest advance towards the pole in exploration history. Not only did Shackleton and his team make groundbreaking progress towards their ultimate goal, but they also conquered Mount Erebus, one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes. These extraordinary accomplishments led to Shackleton being knighted by King Edward VII as recognition for his contributions to scientific discovery and exploration. Tragically, Shackleton met his untimely demise during his third and final oceanographic and sub-Antarctic expedition at just 47 years old. However, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to pushing the boundaries of human exploration. Preserved through time in monochrome elegance, this illustration is sourced from "The Heart of the Antarctic". Volume I by E. H. Shackleton himself. It offers us a glimpse into an era when brave individuals like Ernest Shackleton fearlessly ventured into uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote regions.
