Keith Shackleton (1923-2015) was a British artist, illustrator and naturalist. Shackleton was a passionate conservationist and was related to the great explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, Antarctic explorer who had come within 97 miles of the South Pole at the dawn of the 20th Century. Keith Shackleton is well noted for his paintings of vast landscapes, seascapes and wildlife--especially of the Polar Regions. This painting was completed during a 1974 voyage to the Antarctic aboard the Lindblad Explorer. In the painting, the active volcanoe, Mt, Erebus, can be seen in the distance, to the left.

Attatched to the back of the frame is a nice period Bio of the artist. The print and the frame are in very good condition. The visible artwork measures 14" x 27" and the frame measures 25" x 38".
