On an attempt to reach the South Pole in 1908, all of his ponies died and he had to abandon the attempt due to heavy storms. On a second attempt to reach the South Pole in 1914, his ship was crushed by pack ice, forcing the expedition to walk 1,200 km to South Georgia. Five months later they were rescued by a Chilean warship. On a third attempt to reach the South Pole in 1921, Shackleton died from a heart condition.
