2014-2017 is the 100th Anniversary of Ernest Shackleton's Epic Trans-Antarctic Expedition. However, it is also the anniversary of another part of the expedition seldom talked about. That of Shackleton's Ross Sea Party Expedition.
Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 Antarctic endeavor is legend, but for sheer heroism and tragic nobility, nothing compares to the saga of the Ross Sea party. This crew of explorers landed on the opposite side of Antarctica from the Endurance with a mission to build supply depots for Shackleton’s planned crossing of the continent. But their ship disappeared in a gale, leaving ten inexperienced, ill-equipped men to trek 1,356 miles in the harshest environment on earth.
Recently, never before seen negatives were found frozen, in the grip's of the Antarctic ice for 100 years. It is believed that these photos belonged to the Ross Sea Party Expedition. This image is an artist rendition of one of the images recovered.Comes aged with vintage wood frame. A must have for Shackleton enthusiasts! Part of the 'Age of Polar Exploration' collection.
