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.
