Before the Endurance sank Shackleton and his crew lived upon porridge, tea, baked dough, penguins, fried seals and tinned fish. But after the loss of the endurance they ate their own dogs.

Clarifying Answer

Antarctic explorers consuming dogs began before Shackleton. All dogs imported to the continent by explorers were bred for work and used for food when they were no longer useful as working dogs.
