  Ernest Shackleton, Polar Explorer  >  new window

Sir Ernest Shackleton is probably best known for leading a thousand mile open boat journey across the treacherous Southern Ocean after losing his ship to the crushing ice floes of the Weddell Sea. The story of the Endurance is truly amazing, but there is much more to admire about Shackleton. Even before he attempted his Trans-Antarctic Journey, Shackleton was considered an Edwardian Hero. That is, until he got lost amid the hyperbolic zeitgeist of another man's death.
