Summary: "Shackleton's Last Voyage: The Story of the Quest" by Commander Frank Wild and Dr. A. H. Macklin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative details the final exploratory voyage undertaken by the legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton aboard the ship "Quest" following World War I. This expedition aimed to conduct scientific research in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions while honoring Shackleton's quest for exploration.
