Polar Exploration

a sea route to Asia across North America

he was 14 when he on his first expidition.

Yes Vitus had two half brothers

For faster trading routes.

He and the others died around the 29th March 1912, on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, only 11 miles from his resupply at One Ton Depot.

Shackleton ate from the supplies he had aboard his ship. When these supplies ran out, he and his men had to resort to eating Seals and Penguins. Eventually, they even ate some or all of the dogs that he brought with him.

One of the places is Alsaska , he was the first Russian Danids to reach Alaska

A route to the west

in 1604

The first person to make a solo trip to the South Pole was British explorer, Henry Worsley, in 2008. He completed the journey without any assistance, covering a distance of approximately 900 miles on foot.

The merchants and explorers interested in the trading industry in Asia were looking for a passage through North America that was literally directed Northwest that would take them to Asia.

The French explorer was Jacques Cartier an duch was Henry Hudson

I contacted the Scott Polar Research Institute, Thomas H Manning Polar Archives as there was some doubt over the number of sisters of Captain Scott. Some sites state two, some three, others four.

The answer they gave me is four sisters and one brother. They are Ettie, Rose, Grace, Archie and Katherine.

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

:)

In the 'Race to the Pole' Amundsen used skis and huskies to pull his supply sled. His rival Capt. Scott man-hauled their sled and marched to the pole. Unfair? Well, Scott certainly thought him unsporting in the 'competition' to reach the pole first but there weren't any rules laid out, as such. More likely Scott was jealous of Amundsen's superior skill and methods.

It was a path around or through North America. Explorers were so determined to find it because if they did they would control trade.

Sir Robert Falcon Scott, Rould Amundsen, Sir Douglas Mawson, to name a Brit, a Norwegian and an Australian.

If you are referencing the 1914-1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition that Sir Earnest Shackleton led, you may be thinking of the principal photographer, Frank Hurley, who was born in Glebe, Sydney, Australia.

He was a Japanese military officer who lived from July 20, 1861 - September 4, 1946) who led the Japanese Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1912

Great Britain, namely the Admiralty, who back then had total control of the Royal Navy.

Yes, Ernest and his family got on quite well.
