This book examines in detail for the first time the screen legacy of the great Irish-born Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922). It encompasses the pioneering expedition films he made from 1909 to 1922 and the documentary and drama productions he has inspired since then. The book provides a unique and original approach to understanding Shackleton, including the first comprehensive account of the original Antarctic documentary film (now lost) that recorded the achievements of the 1908-09 Nimrod expedition. Drawing on much original source material (films, diaries, contemporary newspapers, and journals) that has not been unearthed by previous authors, this volume presents a fresh perspective and includes a filmography with more than 100 entries spanning 1908 to 2024.
