Shackleton-Rowett Antarctic Expedition 1921-22 Collection

The last expedition led by Ernest Shackleton, the main motivation was to collect scientific data in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic areas. In doing this they would circumnavigate the Antarctic continent and sail along previously unvisited stretches of the Antarctic. Shackleton died in South Georgia on 5 January 1922 and the command of the expedition passed onto Frank Wild, returning with massive amounts of scientific data.
