As brave men seek scientific discovery and historic recognition, they reach out to new places with little regard for their own safety. This book covers the Nimrod Expedition from 1907 to 1909, which set sail from England before reaching New Zealand and heading south. Also known as the British Antarctic Expedition, this famous voyage mapped the southern limits of the known world.
As a polar explorer without peer, Shackleton was associated with four expeditions to Antarctica. This book is about Shackleton's first command of voyage to the South Pole, which earned him a knighthood upon his return.
Far beyond the pale of European civilization, the Nimrod Expedition recorded a huge number of firsts. Among other things, Shackleton climbed the world's southernmost volcano, Mount Erebus. While Shackleton didn't manage to reach the Geographic South Pole during this tour, falling just 97 miles short, this remarkable attempt is a tale definitely worth telling.
