For hazardous journey, small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honour and recognition in case of success. It certainly grabs the attention, but would you answer it? This mesmerising non-fiction picture book of which Grill is both writer and illustrator won the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration, although it is through both his talent for pictures and words Shackletons Journey this hi story unfolds. While the themes of great courage and endurance take centre stage Shackletons Journey this retelling, Grill also mirrors Shackleton in his appreciation of how building resilience is not simply about being strong in Shackletons Journey, but also about strength of character. In turn, Grill focuses on the domestic life of the crew as well as the more typically thrilling aspects. Plunge your class into the peril of exploration by using the job advert to introduce this project. Explain that inside the envelope they will find a dilemma. Build the drama before opening the envelope and displaying the advert. Establish the choice that is presented — a chance to achieve fame if successful, but also a high risk of death. As she walks down, her peers whisper reasons why she should or should not apply. She can then reveal her decision and reasoning. On pages 5 and Shackletons Journey, Grill provides an illustration of each crew member with his name and post. Create an identity card for each child; he or she will keep this identity for the remainder of the project, writing diary entries in role at different points of the expedition. Please provide details of your suitability for the position including professional skills and personal qualities that Shackletons Journey feel would contribute to our success. Research Shackletons Journey different roles on board ship, then model writing a formal reply. Finding a vessel capable of withstanding the Shackletons Journey of the expedition Shackletons Journey key. Grill explains how craftsmen constructed the boat for sailing in polar conditions, for example the bow could be used as a battering ram to break up thick ice. As a writing task, get children to create a sales Shackletons Journey for the Shackletons Journey. Then focus on developing a persuasive style by issuing whiteboards to encourage experimenting the different features you model, including:. We think it is one of the best-designed ships currently available. Shackleton rigorous recruitment policy also extended to dogs, with 69 chosen for their strength, thick coats and good temperament. Each dog was given a name, some after famous people such as Amundsen and Shakespeare, while others had less salubrious monikers such as Slippery Neck Shackletons Journey Slobbers! These dogs formed an integral part of the crew, not just in terms of the workload, but in the morale they generated — each crew member was assigned at least one dog to care for. The children will write in role as one of the dogs about their experiences on-board, and how their lives changed when Endurance became trapped by the ice. Original footage and photographs Shackletons Journey the expedition form a really helpful resource at this point — expedition photographer Frank Hurley was particularly attached to the dogs. This YouTube clip includes lots of focus on the canine companions, both on-board and out on the ice. While the men felt exhausted and beaten when they Shackletons Journey to concede that the Endurance was trapped for the winter, the dogs were overjoyed to be off the boat exploring the polar conditions. Then, there are a series of paragraphs organised in chronological Shackletons Journey, including details that are amusing, interesting, Shackletons Journey or significant to grab the reader. The conclusion comments on what had happened, or says something about how those involved felt. The challenge here is being able to think in role, so preparation activities Shackletons Journey as hot-seating in character will be key Shackletons Journey a successful piece of writing. A word of warning, this piece should be attempted early in the study Shackletons Journey the expedition, as after surviving on relatively stable ice for six months, Shackleton was forced to make plans for the crew to travel to land in boats. Having survived an extremely treacherous journey in small Shackletons Journey, the crew landed on the uninhabited Elephant Island. Although this meant they were safe from the inconsistencies of the ice, there was little hope of rescue and the challenges of survival in such an inhospitable region were now taking their toll on the Shackletons Journey and morale of the men. Faced with this, Shackleton decided that a smaller group himself and five others should continue on, attempting a journey of over miles to reach civilisation on the island of South Georgia. The difficulties this group had to overcome are ideal for forming the basis for an adventure story. Annotate the map with challenges: a violent storm at sea; getting lost in the mist; foot icicles; mountains covered with loose rock and ice; fields of thick snow; deep crevasses. Establish that adventure stories include obstacles to be overcome, and as a class come up with methods for dealing with each problem. Children can then select from these solutions, annotating their map to plan their own story. Use extracts from adventure stories to model key features including opening with either action, dialogue or both, using description to contribute to the building of tension, and a climax where the main characters overcome the many great difficulties to reach safety. Explain to your class that they have been chosen to Shackletons Journey in a completely uninhabited part of the world. Since they are to set up a new community there, they are to take with them all the things they need to live. You will allow them only 20 items to take with them. Give Shackletons Journey 20 blank cards and ask them to write one thing they will take on each card. Once they have completed this, announce that it has been found that Shackletons Journey there is not enough room to take all 20 things, and that they must reduce their list to 12 items. Inform these groups of four that they must narrow their new joint lists to 10 items they all agree on. Follow-up the task with a class discussion: Which items were most commonly eliminated and why? What is Shackletons Journey difference between want and need? Use this work to lead into study of the UN Convention on the Shackletons Journey of the Child Unicef has produced some good teaching resources to support this. In class, celebrate the ending of your own expedition by throwing an Antarctic-themed party. Although perhaps this bit of the party should take place outside — we all know the first thing children make when they see snow; better be ready to duck!

Students will be asked to read Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic Tale Of Endurance And Survival He was one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Also, members of his team climbed Mount Erebusthe most active Antarctic volcano. After the race to the South Pole ended in Decemberwith Roald Amundsen 's conquest, Shackleton turned his attention to the crossing of Antarctica from sea to sea, via the pole. To this end, he made preparations for what became the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Shackletons Journey— Disaster struck this expedition when its ship, Endurancebecame trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed before the shore parties could be Shackletons Journey. 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 Shackletons Journey security, he launched business ventures which failed to prosper, and he died heavily in debt. Upon his Shackletons Journey, he was lauded Shackletons Journey the press but was thereafter largely forgotten, while the heroic reputation of his 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 Shackletons Journey his contemporaries, said "Scott for scientific method, Shackletons Journey for speed and efficiency but when Shackletons Journey strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackletons Journey, paraphrasing what Apsley Cherry-Garrard had written in a preface to his memoir The Worst Journey in Shackletons Journey World.

    THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY JOURNAL Number Six Antarctic Exploration Sir Ernest Shackleton MARCH 2012 1 Shackleton and a friend (Oliver Locker Lampson) in Cromer, c.1910. Image courtesy of Cromer Museum. 2 The James Caird Society Journal – Number Six March 2012 The Centennial season has arrived. Having celebrated Shackleton’s British Antarctic (Nimrod) Expedition, courtesy of the ‘Matrix Shackleton Centenary Expedition’, in 2008/9, we now turn our attention to the events of 1910/12. This was a period when 3 very extraordinary and ambitious men (Amundsen, Scott and Mawson) headed south, to a mixture of acclaim and tragedy. A little later (in 2014) we will be celebrating Sir Ernest’s ‘crowning glory’ –the Centenary of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic (Endurance) Expedition 1914/17. Shackleton failed in his main objective (to be the first to cross from one side of Antarctica to the other). He even failed to commence his land journey from the Weddell Sea coast to Ross Island. However, the rescue of his entire team from the ice and extreme cold (made possible by the remarkable voyage of the James Caird and the first crossing of South Georgia’s interior) was a remarkable feat and is the reason why most of us revere our polar hero and choose to be members of this Society. For all the alleged shenanigans between Scott and Shackleton, it would be a travesty if ‘Number Six’ failed to honour Captain Scott’s remarkable achievements - in particular, the important geographical and scientific work carried out on the Discovery and Terra Nova expeditions (1901-3 and 1910-12 respectively).

Whether an image comes from a glass or plastic negative, album, lantern slide or newspaper, does not matter. Only singular, one-of-a-kind, images are counted.

There is no question he did expose, develop, print, transport, preserve and protect the overwhelming majority of these images.

  • Medical Aspects of the Expeditions of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration (1895- 1922)
    Medical aspects of the expeditions of the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration (1895- 1922) Submitted by Dr Henry Raymund Guly FRCP FRCEM to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by publication in History. July 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this dissertation which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature …………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract This thesis describes medical aspects of the expeditions of the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration (1895-1922). It is divided into three sections. Section 1 describes the drugs and medical equipment taken to the Antarctic by these expeditions. There is an introductory discussion followed by papers on ophthalmic drugs, injections, inhalations and suppositories, oral drugs and topical preparations. Sledging medical cases are considered separately. Brandy was often used as a medicine and the medical uses of alcohol are described. Some expeditions took what were described as “medical comforts”. This term was sometimes used as a euphemism for alcoholic beverages but, in fact, encompassed a wide range of foods for invalids. Burroughs Wellcome and Co. supplied many of the expeditions with drugs and their medical chests. They used the expedition link in their advertising and the relationship between the expeditions and drug companies is described. Section 2 describes some of the medical problems encountered.
