Antarctica has not been 'conquered' -- many explorers from many countries have mounted expeditions to Antarctica. The British explorers of note include Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Earnest Shackleton, Ranulph Fiennes, and James Weddell.
Ernest Shackleton died on January 5, 1922, at the age of 47. He was born on February 15, 1874. Shackleton's explorations of Antarctica are well-known, but his life was cut short due to a heart attack while he was on an expedition in South Georgia.
Ernest Shackleton survived many ordeals, but failed to survive the the heart attack he suffered on January 5, 1922. He was buried in South Georgia.
Ernest Shackleton had three grandchildren. His only child, a daughter named Cecily, had three children, contributing to his legacy. The descendants of Shackleton continue to celebrate his adventurous spirit and contributions to exploration.
Many people would have considered him to be a hero.
