Summary "Shackleton's Last Voyage: The Story of the Quest" by Commander Frank Wild and Dr. A. H. Macklin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative details the final exploratory voyage undertaken by the legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton aboard the ship "Quest" following World War I. This expedition aimed to conduct scientific research in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions while honoring Shackleton's quest for exploration. The beginning of the book sets the stage by reflecting on Shackleton's ambitious intentions after the war, detailing his plans for an Arctic expedition that eventually shifted back to the Antarctic. We learn about Shackleton's desire to gather a well-prepared team and outfit the "Quest" for the journey, emphasizing the challenges of obtaining funding and resources amid post-war uncertainties. The narrative introduces the core crew of the expedition and paints a vivid picture of their meticulous preparations before setting sail, reflecting the passion and resolve that characterized Shackleton and his team.
