“Men go out into the void spaces of the world for various reasons. Some are actuated simply by a love of adventure, some have the keen thirst for scientific knowledge, and others again are drawn away from the trodden paths by the ” lure of little voices,” the mysterious fascination of the unknown.”
–Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton
A passage taken from the famous, early 20th-century explorer’s book The Heart Of The Antarctic: Being The Story Of The British Antarctic Expedition 1907-1909.
