Description:
1914. Very good condition. The Imperial Trans-Antarctic expedition of 1914-1917 is considered to be the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Conceived by Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. After Roald Amundsen's South Pole expedition in 1911, this crossing remained, in Shackleton's words, the 'one great main object of Antarctic journeyings'.* Shackleton's expedition failed to accomplish this objective, but became recognized instead as an epic feat of endurance." Shackleton's ship "Endurance" was locked in the pack ice of the Weddell Sea, eventually crushed and sank, stranding its 28-man complement on the ice. After months in makeshift camps, the party took to the lifeboats to reach the inhospitable, uninhabited Elephant Island. Shackleton and five others then made an 800-mile (1,300 km) open-boat journey in the James Caird to reach South Georgia. From there, Shackleton was eventually able to…
