Description

Sir Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctica Expedition - between 1914 and 1917 - has been described as one of the greatest adventures of all time. While photos were taken during the expedition - the full voyage hasn't been documented visually, until now. Antarctic and maritime artist Sean Garwood has spent years compiling photographs and studying accounts of the expedition and has now brought the story to life through oil paintings.
