Best Answer

Shackleton and his team attempted to reach the South Pole, and turned back at 88 degrees S, due to their instincts to survive.

The Nimrod expedition (1907-1909) established a goal of 'reaching the pole', which was taken up by Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert F Scott in the upcoming years.
