About this deal

There also was Perce Blackborow who was a Welsh sailor who stowed away on the journey; although Shackleton was annoyed by this, there was no reason to turn back by the time the situation was discovered, and Blackborow was made a steward. Within a year the first biography, The Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton, by Hugh Robert Mill, was published.

In 1983 the BBC produced and broadcast the miniseries Shackleton, which was released on DVD in 2017.The government of Uruguay proffered a vessel that came within 100 miles of Elephant Island before being beaten back by the ice. Sir Ernest Shackleton: Funeral Ceremony In South Georgia: Many Wreaths On Coffin, in the Barrier Miner (archived in the NLA Trove); published 5 May 1922. Despite the outbreak of the First World War on 3 August 1914, Endurance was directed by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill, to "proceed", [g] and left British waters on 8 August. The reality was that the expedition had left Shackleton deeply in debt, unable to meet the financial guarantees he had given to backers.

Emily Shackleton later recorded: "The only comment he made to me about not reaching the Pole was 'a live donkey is better than a dead lion, isn't it? After a medical examination (which proved inconclusive), [34] Scott decided to send Shackleton home on the relief ship Morning, which had arrived in McMurdo Sound in January 1903. When ice crushed Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, during the Antarctic expedition of 1914-1916, it stranded him and his 27 men far from civilization.This party would then lay supply depots across the Great Ice Barrier as far as the Beardmore Glacier; these depots would hold the food and fuel that would enable Shackleton's party to complete their journey of 1,800 miles (2,900km) across the continent. In 1901, Shackleton was chosen to go on the Antarctic expedition led by British naval officer Robert Falcon Scott on the ship 'Discovery'. We look at every kind of content that may matter to our audience: books, but also articles, reports, videos and podcasts.

The initial plan was to march across the ice toward land, but that was abandoned after the men managed just seven and a half miles in seven days.On March 9, 2022, a team of scientists and adventurers announced they had finally located what remained of the Endurance at the bottom of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.

Fridtjof Nansen sent an effusive private letter to Emily Shackleton, praising the "unique expedition which has been such a complete success in every respect".He later denied Scott's claim in The Voyage of the Discovery, that he had been carried on the sledge. When spring arrived in September, the breaking of the ice and its later movements put extreme pressures on the ship's hull.
