Who Was Ernest Shackleton?
Who Was Ernest Shackleton? | James Buckley, Jr.
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
As a boy he preferred reading sea stories to doing homework and, at age 16, became an apprentice seaman. Subsequently, Ernest Shackletons incredible journeys to the South Pole in the early 1900s made him one of the most famous explorers of modern times. His courage in the face of dangerous conditions and unforeseeable tragedies reveal the great leader that he was. His historic 1914 journey aboard the Endurance has all the drama of an action movie.

I quick over view of Shackleton. I remember the late 90‘s when interest was renewed about his voyage on Endurance. I was interested then to read a little about it and that interest has been peaked again. I‘m curious as to how they were able to survive.
