Photo Details
Poster: Mike (see this users gallery) The spare wheel from the 1907 Arrol-Johnston motor car brought to the Antarctic by Shackleton on his 1907-09 Nimrod expedition, but with which he enjoyed limited success - a wheeled vehicle proving unsuitable for use on most types of snow and ice. The wheel was left behind at the Cape Royds hut when the men (and car!) returned home.

Nice detail shot Mike, a bit different to the alloys on my motor!

There's a pic of the car here:

Excellent photograph Mike - thank you.

The quality and detail shown is of great use to me in my research into this vehicle - now if I could only find the rest of the car!

Argyll.
