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.

Who was the first Norwegian explorer to reach the South Pole?

That would depend on your definition of "reach". 1773: Captain James Cook became the first person to cross the Antarctic Circle. 1820: The Antarctic continent was first seen by human eyes. Historians have disagreed on who those eyes belonged to; at least one possible claimant is believed to have seen land but mistaken it for ice at the time. Credit for being the first man to see the continent has been divided between three men who made separate voyages to Antarctica that year: Fabian von Bellingshausen, a captain in the Russian Imperial Navy; Edward Bransfield, a captain in the British navy; Nathaniel Brown Palmer, an American sealer. 1840: Frenchman Jules-Sébastien-César Dumont d'Urville became the first person to set foot on Antarctica. (Some historians believe that John Davis, an American sealer, may have set foot on the Antarctic Peninsula in 1821, but even he was unsure if he landed on the continent itself or a nearby island.)
