Last night at our Piccadilly HQ, we were joined by .geiger, CEO of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (), for an evening exploring Shackleton’s final voyage.
In 2024, John led the international team that found the wreck of Quest, Shackleton’s last ship, off the coast of Labrador. This summer, the Heroic Age Expedition returned to the site for the gripping, first close-up look at the wreck by submersible.
Drawing on his new book, QUEST: Shackleton’s Last Ship & the End of the Heroic Age, John took us from the early polar expeditions and the Endurance, through Shackleton’s death aboard Quest in 1922, to the remarkable afterlife of the ship itself.
Thank you to John and to everyone who joined us.
