Ernest Shackleton Biography


Ernest Henry Shackleton was born on the 15th of February 1874 in Small town
Kilkea, Ireland. At a young age he joined the Merchant Navy and achieved first
mate at the age of 18. In 1907 he set off on his first mission the Nimrod, led by
British naval officer Robert Falcon Scott on the ship 'Discovery'. Shackleton and
Scott, along with one other were sent there for research and returned shortly after
due to illness.   
Shortly after getting home from his previous mission he was preparing and
training for the endurace, although he went through five years of prep and
planning not everything went to plan. Miles away from where they were
meant to land the ship sank and they were forced to board their life boats.
After another long journey they made it to the coast of Antarctica,  where they
lived on an ice floe. Just a few hundred miles from the pole they had to abandon their second mission because of yet more illness.
"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.
