Ernest Shackleton

Ernest Shackleton’s early life… Born in Ireland in 1874 One of 10 children In 1884 his family moved to South London Went to school in Dulwich At 16 he joined the Merchant Navy

The story continues…. In 1901 Shackleton joined an expedition led by Captain Scott to try and be the first to reach the South Pole Didn’t reach the South Pole (400 miles to go) Came home early due to an injury

Did this put him off ? No! It only made him more determined to reach the South Pole himself one day.

1907 … a new adventure! Shackleton sailed to the Antarctic in “Nimrod” He got to within 97 miles of the South Pole He turned back because the food ran out

Did this put him off ? No!

In the meantime …. Other explorers reached the South Pole So he started to think up his next adventure!

Shackleton decided he wanted to cross the Antarctic continent, which is 2,000 miles across! So he put an notice in the newspaper which said …

“Men wanted: for hazardous journey “Men wanted: for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success. Ernest Shackleton”

August 1914 … Shackleton left England with 27 crew and 68 dogs on “Endurance” January 1915: Stuck in the ice

Shackleton gave the order to abandon ship They saved lifeboats, food and clothes … before it sank in November 1915

The real adventure begins … 5 months floating on an iceberg! A week without food or sleep in a boat An 800 mile journey across extremely rough seas to get help.

It was 3 months before Shackleton could return to the rest of his men to rescue them Altogether he and his crew were away for 2 years, but none of them died

Shackleton’s story is one of the greatest stories of survival against overwhelming odds. He was enormously admired for his leadership and survival qualities.
