Notes
Keith Shackleton was an artist, a naturalist, a pilot who served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, and, in later years, a television educationalist. Being related to the polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, he developed an interest in Antarctica and the Arctic from an early age. Many of his paintings depict the extreme environments of the polar regions and the marine birds and animals that inhabit them.
