Shackleton took an entire large ship with literally thousands of essential items. Far too many to describe here. He had everything man needed to survive an extremely hostile frozen environment. Google Shackleton-Endurance for more detailed information.
I take it you mean to the polar plateau. He went by the way of the Beardmore glacier.
Shackleton's first challenge was the ship breaking. Second, it broke and he had to race against time to take everything out. Third, the cold weather. Then surviving. Shackleton had many challenges overall.
The story of Ernest Shackleton and the sinking of their ship the Endurance was an event that occurred in 191 . You can read more if you search for the Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
shackleton took a trump gun with him
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.
Captain Sailer Spent most of his life on a boat out on the sea ~ Sir Ernest Shackleton went on a boat named the Endurance and sailed to Antarctica with 27 men with one stowaway named Perce (sounds like Pierce)Blackburrow ( not sure about last name spelling:/) Shackleton and his men got stuck in the ice and had to abandon ship. a while later Shackleton finally yelled that the ship was sinking and the men were only allowed 2 lbs of personal items to take they had to pull 3 life boats name the James Caird (biggest) and 2 others that i forget the names to. Shackleton and all men sailed to Elephant Island~an uninhabited island out of the way of other islands then shackleton decided to take his five best men and try to sail to the whaling station on South Georgia Island about 500 miles away on the James Caird. but landed on the wrong side and traveled on land to the other side and made it in less than 3 days Shackleton tried to rescue the men 3 times until finally on a tub boat he rescued and 21 men ( +5 and Shackleton). This is from a book I read all facts should be right :)
Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922) was a British explorer who commanded three expeditions to the Antarctic (1907-09, 1914-17, 1921-22), during which the South Magnetic Pole was located in 1909.
