Explorers Club member Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, launched in 1914, aimed to make the first land crossing of Antarctica. However, their ship, Endurance, became trapped and was eventually crushed by pack ice, forcing the crew to survive on the ice floes for months. Shackleton and a small team then undertook a perilous 800-mile journey in an open boat to reach South Georgia Island and seek rescue. Remarkably, despite the extreme hardships, all members of the expedition were eventually rescued without any loss of life. This t-shirt celebrates Shackleton's historic achievement. Available in sizes S-2XL. Please see our second image for a closer look.
