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. His primary objective was to discover the South Pole, but was defeated by his use of ponies instead of huskies and heavy storms. The 1907-09 expedition got to within 178 km of the South Pole.
