“After the conquest of the South Pole by Amundsen who, by a narrow margin of days only, was in advance of the British Expedition under Scott, there remained but one great main object of Antarctic journeying - the crossing of the South Polar continent from sea to sea”

He was a member of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition (1901-1904) and the Nimrod Expedition (1907-1909). His most famous expedition was the Endurance, where he and his crew were marooned for over a year after their ship was crushed by ice. Shackleton's leadership and survival skills during this ordeal are legendary, and he is celebrated for his ability to lead his men to safety. He passed away on January 5, 1922. more
