Plaque marks 100 years since Shackleton's final expedition

A plaque has been unveiled in Plymouth marking 100 years since polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton left the city on his final expedition to Antarctica.

The memorial was revealed by the granddaughter of the adventurer, alongside members of Antarctic Quest 21, who will be retracing Shackleton's footsteps to mark the centenary.

Shackleton left Plymouth in September 1921 intending to map still uncharted coastal regions of the White Continent.

But he died during the expedition.
