No. Shackleton's treks began from two sides of Antarctica, and neither trip resulted in a complete trek across the continent.

Shackleton did, however, return home from all of his polar expeditions, except the last expedition. He died and is buried on South Georgia island.

How did you get around antarctica?

you walk eat walk eat walk eat walk eat and eventually u will make it around Antarctica The best way to travel around Antarctica, is to be a scientist aboard a research ship. There are expensive tourist agencies that would take you to visit Antarctica in a cruise, but they do not make the full tour around the Antarctic coast. And only in the Summer season these sea cruises visit Antarctica (during the north hemisphere Winter). The Southern Ocean is pretty dangerous, even in Antarctic Summer, specially near Cape Horn and the South Georgia island, where the great antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton is burried.
