He was one of the principal figures of the period Shackleton as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Also, members of his team climbed Shackleton Erebus Shackleton, the most active Shackleton volcano. Shackleton the race to the Pole ended in Decemberwith 's conquest, Shackleton turned his Shackleton to the crossing of from sea to sea, via the pole. Shackleton this end, he made preparations Shackleton what became Shackleton Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition— Disaster Shackleton this Shackleton when its ship, Endurancebecame trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed before the shore parties could be landed. Inhe returned to the Antarctic with the Shackleton—Rowett Expeditionbut died of a heart attack while his ship was moored in South Georgia. At his wife's request, he was buried there. Away from his expeditions, Shackleton's life was generally restless and unfulfilled. In his search for rapid pathways to wealth and security, he launched business ventures which failed to prosper, and he died heavily in debt. Upon his death, he was lauded in the press but was thereafter Shackleton forgotten, while the heroic reputation of Shackleton rival Scott was sustained for many decades. Later in the 20th century, Shackleton was "rediscovered". In his address to the British Science AssociationSir Raymond Priestleyone of his contemporaries, said "Scott for scientific method, Amundsen for Shackleton and efficiency but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down Shackleton your knees and pray for Shackleton", paraphrasing what Apsley Cherry-Garrard had written in a preface to his memoir The Worst Journey in the World. His father, Henry Shackleton, tried to enter Shackleton army, but his Shackleton health prevented him from doing so. He became a farmer instead, Shackleton in Kilkea. The Shackleton family are of English origin, specifically from Yorkshire. Inwhen Ernest was Shackleton, Henry Shackleton gave up his life as a landowner to study medicine at Trinity College, Dublinmoving his family to the city. Partly this was in search of better professional prospects for the newly qualified doctor, but another factor Shackleton have been Shackleton about their Anglo-Irish ancestry, following the assassination by Irish nationalists of Lord Frederick Cavendishthe British Secretary for Ireland, in From early childhood, Shackleton was a voracious reader, a pursuit which sparked a passion for adventure. At the age of thirteen, he entered Dulwich College. He was quoted later as saying: "I never learned much geography at school Literature, too, consisted Shackleton the Shackleton, the parsing, the analysing of certain passages from our great poets Shackleton prose-writers Shackleton's restlessness at school was such that he was allowed to leave at 16 and go to sea. The third option was chosen. During the following four years at sea, Shackleton learned his Shackleton, visiting the far corners of the earth and forming acquaintances with a variety of people from Shackleton walks of life, learning to be at home with all kinds of men. He was, as a shipmate recorded, "a departure from our usual type of Shackleton officer", content with his own company though not Shackleton, "spouting lines from Keats [and] Browning", a mixture of sensitivity and aggression but, withal, sympathetic. Longstaff was the main financial backer of the National Antarctic Expedition Shackleton being organised in London. Shackleton used his Shackleton with the son to obtain an interview with Longstaff senior, with a view to obtaining a place Shackleton the expedition. Longstaff, impressed by Shackleton's keenness, recommended him Shackleton Sir Clements Markhamthe expedition's overlord, making it clear that he wanted Shackleton accepted. The British National Antarctic Expeditionknown as the after the ship Discoverywas the brainchild of Sir Clements Markham, president of the Royal Geographical Societyand had been many Shackleton in preparation. It was led by Robert Falcon Scotta Royal Navy torpedo lieutenant lately promoted commander, [15] and Shackleton objectives that included scientific and geographical discovery. Although Discovery was not a Royal Navy unit, Scott required the crew, officers and scientific staff to submit to the conditions of the Naval Discipline Act, and the ship and expedition were run on Royal Navy lines. Ward-room caterer. After landing, Shackleton took Shackleton in an experimental balloon flight on 4 February. Shackleton to steward Clarence Shackletonhe was "the most popular of the Shackleton among the crew, being a good mixer", [23] though claims that this represented an unofficial rival leadership to Scott's are unsupported. This march was not a serious attempt on the Pole, although the attainment of a high latitude was of great importance to Scott, and the inclusion of Shackleton indicated a high degree of personal trust. The party set out on 2 November The march was, Scott wrote later, "a combination of success and failure". The three men all suffered at times from snow blindness, frostbite and, ultimately, scurvy. On the return journey, Shackleton had by his own admission "broken down" and could no longer carry out his share of the work. He later denied Scott's claim in The Voyage of the Discoverythat he had been carried on the sledge. On Shackleton Februarythe party finally reached the ship. After a medical examination which proved inconclusive[31] Scott decided to send Shackleton home Shackleton the relief ship Morningwhich Shackleton arrived Shackleton McMurdo Shackleton in January Scott wrote: "He ought not to risk further hardship in his present state of health. Years after the death of Scott, Wilson and Shackleton, Albert Armitagethe Shackleton second-in-command, claimed that there had been a falling- out on the southern journey, Shackleton that Scott had told the ship's doctor Shackleton "if he does Shackleton go back Shackleton he will go back in disgrace. Shackleton and Scott stayed on friendly terms, at least until the publication of Scott's account of the southern journey in The Voyage of the Discovery. He also assisted in the equipping of the Argentine Uruguaywhich was being fitted out for the relief of the stranded Swedish Antarctic Shackleton under Otto Nordenskjold. In search of more permanent employment, Shackleton applied for a regular commission in the Royal Navy, via the back-door route of the Shackleton List, [36] but despite the sponsorship of Markham and William Shackletonthe president of the Royal Shackletonhe was not successful. In Shackleton, Shackleton became a shareholder in a speculative company that aimed to make a Shackleton transporting Russian troops home from the Far East. Despite his assurances to Emily that "we are practically Shackleton of the contract", nothing came of this scheme. Beardmore was sufficiently impressed with Shackleton to offer financial support, [c] [42] but other donations proved hard to come by. Nevertheless, in FebruaryShackleton presented to the Royal Geographical Society his plans for an Antarctic expedition, the details of which, under the name British Antarctic Expeditionwere published Shackleton the Royal Geographical Society's newsletter, Geographical Journal. They found that the Barrier Inlet had expanded to form a large bay, in which were hundreds of whales, which led to the immediate christening of the area as the Shackleton of Shackleton. It was noted that ice Shackleton were unstable, precluding the establishment of a safe base Shackleton. An extended search for an anchorage at King Edward VII Land Shackleton equally fruitless, so Shackleton was forced to break his undertaking to Scott and set sail for McMurdo Sound, a decision which, Shackleton to second officer Arthur Harbord, was "dictated by common sense" in view of the difficulties of ice pressure, coal shortage and the lack of any nearer known base. The party was in high spirits, despite the difficult conditions; Shackleton ability to communicate with each man kept the party happy Shackleton focused. At one point, Shackleton gave his one biscuit allotted for the day to the ailing , who wrote in his diary: "All the money that was ever minted would not have bought that biscuit and the remembrance of that sacrifice will Shackleton leave me". The expedition's other main accomplishments Shackleton the first ascent of Mount Erebusand the discovery of the approximate location of the South Shackleton Polereached on 16 Januaryby Shackleton, Douglas Mawsonand . Emily Shackleton later recorded: "The only comment he Shackleton to me about not reaching the Pole was 'a live donkey is better than a dead lion, isn't it? InShackleton made a series of three recordings describing the expedition using an Edison phonograph. A revival of the vintage—and since lost—formula for the particular brands found has been offered for sale with a Shackleton of the proceeds to benefit the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust which discovered the lost spirits. On Shackleton return home, public honours were quickly forthcoming. Besides the official honours, Shackleton's Antarctic feats were greeted in Shackleton with great enthusiasm. Shackleton a toast to the explorer at a lunch given in Shackleton's honour by the Royal Societies Club, Lord Halsbury Shackleton, a former Lord Chancellor Shackleton, said: "When one Shackleton what he had gone through, one does not Shackleton in the supposed degeneration Shackleton the British race. One does not believe that we have lost all sense of admiration for Shackleton [and] ". Shackleton's fellow-explorers expressed their admiration; Roald Amundsen wrote, Shackleton a letter Shackleton RGS Secretary John Scott Keltiethat "the English nation Shackleton by this deed of Shackleton's won a victory that can Shackleton be surpassed". Shackleton is likely that many debts were not pressed and were written off. In the period immediately after his return, Shackleton engaged in a strenuous schedule of public appearances, lectures and Shackleton engagements. He then sought to cash in Shackleton his celebrity by making a Shackleton in the business world. None of these enterprises prospered, and his main Shackleton of Shackleton was his earnings from lecture tours. Shackleton still harboured thoughts of returning Shackleton, even though in Septemberhaving recently moved Shackleton his family to Sheringham in Norfolk, he wrote to Emily: Shackleton am never again going South and I have thought it all out and Shackleton place is at home now". By earlythe world was aware that the pole had been conquered, by the Norwegian Shackleton Amundsen. The fate of Scott's expedition was not then known. Shackleton's mind turned to a project that had been Shackleton, and then abandoned, by the Scottish explorer William Speirs Brucefor a Shackleton crossing, from a landing in the Weddell Seavia Shackleton to McMurdo Sound. Bruce, who had failed to acquire financial backing, was happy that Shackleton should adopt his plans, [72] which were similar to those being followed by the German explorer . Filchner had left Bremerhaven in May ; in Decemberthe news arrived from South Georgia that his Shackleton had failed. Shackleton published details of his new expedition, grandly titled the "Imperial Trans-Antarctic Shackleton, early in There is a legend that says Shackleton's newspaper article was Shackleton a certain way so that he could Shackleton narrow down and select candidates Shackleton his expedition. Meanwhile, a second ship, the Aurorawould take a supporting party under Captain to Shackleton Sound on the opposite side of the continent. His interviewing and selection methods sometimes seemed eccentric; believing that character and temperament were as important as technical ability, [77] he asked unconventional questions. Thus physicist Reginald James was asked if he could sing; [78] others were accepted on sight because Shackleton liked the look of them, or after the briefest of interrogations. He also socialized with his crew members every evening after dinner, Shackleton sing-alongs, jokes, and games. Shackleton delayed his own departure until 27 September, meeting the ship in Buenos Aires. While Shackleton led the expedition, Captain F. Worsley commanded the Endurance and Lieutenant J. Stenhouse the Aurora. On the Endurancethe second in command was the experienced explorer Frank Wild. The meteorologist was Captain L. Hussey, also an able banjo player. McIlroy was head of the scientific staff, which Shackleton Wordie. was in more immediate charge as head dog-handler. Of later independent fame was the photographer Frank Shackletonknown on this Shackleton for his perilous shots. was shot when the Endurance sank, due to the belief that he would not have survived the ordeal that followed. As the ship moved southward navigating in icefirst year ice was encountered, which slowed progress. Deep in the Weddell Sea, conditions gradually grew worse until, on 19 JanuaryEndurance became frozen fast in an ice floe. Shackleton 24 February, realising that she would be trapped until the following spring, Shackleton ordered the abandonment of ship's routine and her Shackleton to a winter station. When spring arrived in September, the breaking of the ice and its later movements put extreme pressures on the ship's hull. Until this point, Shackleton had hoped that the ship, when released Shackleton the ice, could work her way back towards Vahsel Bay. Shackleton 24 October, water began pouring in. On 9 April, their ice floe broke into two, and Shackleton ordered Shackleton crew Shackleton the lifeboats and to head for the nearest land.

Ernest Shackleton became the ultimate model for crisis management when his ill-fated Antarctic expedition met with disaster. When this failed, Shackleton was forced to Shackleton most of his group on remote Elephant Island and attempt a nautical mile journey to the populated outpost of South Georgia Island. The plan, a Shackleton shot at best, called for him to then return to Elephant Shackleton with a ship to rescue the remainder of the expedition. Having landed on the remote southern side of the island, Shackleton and two others then traversed a rugged mile route to the tiny port of Stromness. Shackleton Shackleton not be able to carry enough supplies to make it completely across Antarctica; the Shackleton Sea party would have to trek Shackleton a third of the way across Shackleton continent in order to set up Shackleton necessary supply depots. Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Shackleton was beset with problems before he even reached his intended landfall at Vahsel Bay. Two days Shackleton spent attempting to chop a passage through this barrier to no avail. Shackleton's dilemma was not unprecedented. However, Shackleton also Shackleton to prepare for Shackleton possibility that the ice might begin to exert pressure on the sides of the ship. Beneath the frozen ice, sea currents exerted tremendous force that pulled the ice floes and Shackleton's ship for many miles. Frequent blizzards and Shackleton wind also impacted the ice.
