Two stone (Granite) pendants from the British Antarctic Expedition 1907-1909 (Nimrod) Description: Two pendants made from Antarctic granite sourced during Shackleton's Nimrod expedition. These pendants were made for wives and family members from those on-board. Interestingly, one of these pendants is in the form of a book. Nimrod is known for being the first expedition to print a book in the Antarctic; Aurora Australis. Thus, it is likely that this pendant pays homage to this. Provenance: Purchased 2019 |
