Giclée Print of Watercolor Painting by Adam Koltz
|
Searching for help, Shackleton and two of his men trek across glacier-encrusted mountains. On May 20, 1916, they reach Stromness Whaling Station, on the northern coast of South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic.
After a series of failed attempts hampered by ice and bad weather, Shackleton manages to rescue his crew in August of 1916 with the help of the Chilean government on the steamer Yelcho. Shackleton returns to England in May 1917. One of the most grueling expeditions in modern times finally comes to an end, with no loss of life, and all the crew returned home safely. ________________________ Museum quality giclée print on Hahnemuhle William Turner 310gsm 100% cotton, acid-free, lignin-free, pH neutral, mould-made, textured heavy archival fine art paper.

Marine artist and 20 year Navy veteran Adam Koltz has served aboard several classes of ships, including merchant vessels. His earliest memories include drawing ships and birds, and his attention to detail stems from his intimate knowledge of the wind-water relationships that give his images life and vitality. Adam first became fascinated with the story of Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition in 2008 during the increased public awareness leading up to the 100th anniversary of the explorer's journey. He was so taken with the story that he spent the next 2 years composing this extraodinary pictorial essay as a tribute to a man he came to admire so much. Seven images tell the tale of the 3-year ordeal like no text ever could.
