LONDON
A sled and flag used in one of explorer Ernest Shackleton s famed expeditions to the South Pole have been bought by a British government-funded body to keep the treasured artifacts in the U.K.
The National Heritage Memorial Fund, a government-funded body, said Wednesday that it paid 204,000 pounds ($274,000) to help purchase the two items, used in the first of three British Antarctic expeditions led by Shackleton in the early 1900s. The artifacts will be donated to two English museums.
