A sledge from the first expedition to the Antarctic led by Ernest Shackleton is a stand-out lot in Bonhams’ Travel and Exploration Sale in Knightsbridge on February 6. It is estimated at £60,000-100,000.
It was used on the 1907-09 British Antarctic (Nimrod) Expedition by Eric Marshall, one of the four men, with Shackleton, Jameson Adams and Frank Wild, to undertake the sledge march to the South Pole.
