Shackleton was not well—and he saw this last voyage as a chance to relive old times. He appeared somewhat listless and was drinking too much. When the ship arrived in Buenos Aires he had what appeared to be a heart attack but refused to let any doctor attend to him. On 4 January 1922 the ship reached South Georgia and the f...

Bruce led the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902-04, as well as participating in or leading many other polar expeditions from 1892 through to 1919, in particular to Spitsbergen. Bruce was ahead of his time in dreaming of a network of cooperating meteorological stations in the south. He handed over the Laurie Island observatory to the Argentinians. His endeavours in the Arctic were notable for the extensive new surveys he undertook. He was never awarded the Polar Medal, this book explains why. View more info
