Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton CVO OBE FRGS (/ˈʃækəltən/; 15 February 1874 – 5 January 1922) was a polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic, and one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Born in County Kildare, Ireland, Shackleton and his Anglo-Irish family moved to Sydenham in suburban south London when he was ten. His first experience of the polar regions was as third officer on Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery Expedition 1901–04, from which he was sent home early on health grounds, after he and his companions Scott and Wilson set a new southern record by marching to latitude 82°S.
During the second expedition 1907–1909 he and three companions established a new record Farthest South latitude at 88°S, only 97 geographical miles (112 statute miles, 180 km) from the South Pole, the largest advance to the pole in exploration history. Also, members of his team climbed Mount Erebus, the most active Antarctic volcano. For these achievements, Shackleton was knighted by King Edward VII on his return home.

For many Ernest Shackleton is the epitome of a courageous, resolute and determined adventurer, showing tenacity in the harshest of conditions. Like many explorers, Shackleton was drawn to the barren wastelands of the Antarctic, and to the honours, fame and fortune that would come from being the first person to reach the South Pole. The legacy he left would not be that of great discovery, but of survival, leadership and a journey of incredible human spirit. Rare photographs, dramatised re-enactments and expert commentary tell the story of a unique man, whose legend would inspire many an adventurer.

"Suche Freiwillige für gefährliche Reise. Niedriger Lohn, bittere Kälte, lange Stunden in vollständiger Finsternis garantiert. Rückkehr ungewiss. Ehre und Anerkennung im Fall des Erfolges." 1907 suchte der Ire Sir Ernest Shackleton mit diesem Inserat Freiwillige für eine Antarktis-Expedition, um den Südpol zu "erobern". 27 Mann konnte Shackleton 1914 motivieren, mit ihm in See zu stechen. Endurance nannte der Forscher sein Polarschiff, und der Name konnte nicht besser gewählt werden. Die Reise solle als Beispiel menschlicher Ausdauer und eines unbändigen Überlebenswillen in die Geschichte eingehen. Rund 2.000 Kilometer vor dem Ziel geriet die Endurance in die Fänge des Packeises. Mühsam manövriert die Crew durch die Eisschollen und Fahrrinnen. Dann der 19. Januar 1915: Die "Eisfalle" schna...
