Description

As a boy, he liked reading sea stories more than doing homework. At age 16, he became an apprentice seaman. Later on, Ernest Shackleton’s remarkable trips to the South Pole in the early 1900s made him one of the most well-known explorers of recent times. His bravery in challenging situations and unexpected tragedies shows what a great leader he was. His historic 1914 journey on the Endurance is as exciting as an action movie.
