South Georgia Museum Online Exhibition Launched Today, 5 January 2022
The polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton died aboard his expedition vessel Quest a century ago today, on 5 January 1922.
The My ShackletonExhibition highlights how Sir Ernest Shackleton still inspires people today.
A century after his death, this collaborative online exhibition from the South Georgia Museum gives voice to those wishing to share how Shackleton came into their lives and how he continues to motivate them today.
Further submissions are invited via the webpage, so the exhibition will continue to grow throughout this centenary year as more people share Shackleton’s enduring power to inspire, teach and intrigue them today.
‘Among memories of kindness received in many lands sundered by the seas, the recollection of the hospitality and help given me in South Georgia ranks high. There is a brotherhood of the sea.’
You will also find details in the exhibition to enable you to submit your own contribution; and remember to visit the exhibition again as more contributions are added throughout the year.
