http://www.venusians.com This band finds Shackleton to be an inspiration, and wrote the song "the song I speak of uses Shackelton's journey as a metaphor for finding one's lost soul. The chorus in the song is "Never for me the lowered banner, never the last endeavor", and as you probably know, these are Shackleton's own words. The song is entitled "Isle Of Ice", and you can hear a clip of it.
