Shackleton's Forgotten Voyage: What the Quest Shipwreck Reveals About Human Ambition The recent release of images from the Quest shipwreck, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill fated polar exploration vessel, serves as a poignant reminder of the high cost of human ambition.
The Quest expedition has long been overshadowed by its more celebrated counterpart, the Endurance voyage, yet this forgotten journey tells us just as much about humanity's drive to explore and push beyond the boundaries of what's thought possible.
The Quest underwent extensive retrofitting before its ill fated voyage, featuring state of the art navigation and photography equipment.
