“Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.”
Shackleton, South
Shackleton went south first with Scott on Discovery, then led the Nimrod expedition to within 97 miles of the Pole in 1909 before turning back rather than kill his party. The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 never landed: Endurance was caught in the Weddell Sea pack, drifted for ten months and was crushed. The crew camped on floes, reached Elephant Island in the ship's boats, and Shackleton took five men 800 nautical miles to South Georgia in the twenty-two-foot James Caird, navigating by rare sun sights. They then crossed the island's unmapped mountains to a whaling station. All twenty-eight men survived. He died of a heart attack at South Georgia in 1922.
