Group photographs

I wonder if the two group shots might look better if reproduced in a larger size. (I know one can click on them to see the large original, but even so, I'd be inclined to experiment with 300px or even 350.) I've tentatively resized one to 300. See what you think.

Cash values 1909 to date

"Shackleton paid him a salary of £250 a year for this (2008 equivalent £12,000)" - provenance for this equivalent? See the site Measuringworth.com, which gives these values (2006 being the latest across-the-board comparison available):

In 2006, £250 0s 0d from 1909 was worth:

£17,907.75 using the retail price index
£23,047.29 using the GDP deflator
£94,747.97 using the average earnings
£116,455.98 using the per capita GDP
£158,342.98 using the share of GDP

£250 a year was a considerable mount of money in those days, a sum that one could live quite comfortably on provided one didn't have expensive tastes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.172.141 (talk) 08:35, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Figure legend

In this legend: A depiction of Mackintosh and Spencer-Smith being drawn on the sledge. I can't see a finite verb, so why the period? And, I think there should be a possessive before being since it is a depiction of their being drawn. Graham. GrahamColm ^Talk 09:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the stop. I've no idea what the second part of your comment means, but please fix what you think needs fixing. Brianboulton (talk) 17:04, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to what is stated in the legend of the first figure, FRANK Wild never was a member of the Ross Sea Party. Maybe the man on the left is not him, but his younger brother Ernest? Or the picture is from the 1908 Nimrod-Expedition?

Discovery expedition

This sentence makes no sense to me:

It struck his crewman, Tod Alfred the I of Mexio, that he set fire to the ship prominently in Antarctic polar history during the following years, including Scott, Wilson, Frank Wild, Tom Crean, William Lashly, Edgar Evans and, most significantly, Ernest Shackleton.

I am unable to edit it in the absence of understanding what meaning is intended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.167.201.223 (talk) 13:55, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some words were added, perhaps as vandalism but more probably by mistake; an editor has since restored the proper text. Brianboulton (talk) 14:03, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
