Who was Ernest Shackleton?
Sir Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922) was a British explorer of the South Pole who is best remembered for leading his crew to safety after the failed expedition of the Endurance (1914-16). Shackleton had been a junior officer on Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery expedition (1902-03), and his expedition with the Nimrod (1907-09) had taken him closer to the South Pole than anyone before. After Roald Amundsen reached the Pole in 1911, Shackleton and a crew of 28 men set out in his ship Endurance in 1914, in the hopes of being the first to cross the polar continent. The ship was frozen in ice, then crushed, and Shackleton and his men set out in lifeboats after nearly a year and a half on the ice. Shackleton, known as "The Boss," took five men and sailed 800 miles in an open boat from Elephant Island to the island of South Georgia, then went back and saved the rest of his crew, all of whom survived. Almost two years after starting out, they reached safety in South America in September of 1916. In spite of his heroics, Shackleton had a hard time back in England with finances and alcohol. He eventually managed to get financing for another voyage to Antarctica in 1921, but he had a fatal heart attack at South Georgia Island and never made it.

Why did Ernest Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott become famous as the greatest Antarctic navigators?
Basically, Scott is famous for dying on the South Pole, while Shackleton is famous for surviving his failed expedition to the South Pole, along with rescuing his entire crew.Another AnswerBoth Scott and Shackleton were expedition leaders, leaving navigation to their navigator crew. Both explored Antarctica in the sense that they both led expeditions to the continent: Scott led a team to be the first humans to set foot at the South Pole, and in one, Shackleton to walk across the continent.Scott was hailed as a hero only after reports of his death reached civilization, nearly a year after he and his last two companions perished in a tent, stormed in, and lacking supplies, toward the end of March 1912. (During that year, Norwegian Roald Amundsen made money lecturing about his 'conquest of the pole.)Shackleton through several expeditions became known as a magnanimous leader, and as a leader who 'never lost a man' in all of his Antarctic journeys and challenges.
How can you be on endurance on discovery kids?

Was sir Ernest Shackleton a brave man?
Ernest Shackleton is my hero because he showed me if you give it all you have, you can do anything.Ernest Shackleton is my hero because he is an inspiration to me, and he taught me to never give up. On his first trip to reach the South Pole, he could not make it. He was not the captain. They were not very far when they had to turn back because of the ice. Then after a year of hard work and looking for a ship he and his crew of 28 set off for Shackleton’s second trip to the South Pole. The whalers at South Georgia Island said, “It’s a bad year for ice.”Ernest Shackleton promised his crew he would do his best to save them and he did. Ernest Shackleton was a man of integrity because he never made a promise he could not keep. One example is when he wanted to tell his crew that they would all live, but he did not because it would be a false promise.
