Shackleton (Ernest Shackleton)

Sir Ernest Shackleton was a British explorer known for leading polar expeditions in the early 20th century. His most famous journey, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917), aimed to cross Antarctica but became legendary after his ship, the Endurance, became ice-bound and was trapped in the pack ice. Shackleton's leadership and resilience guided his crew through extreme conditions, ultimately rescuing them after months of ordeal. His courage and problem-solving have made him an enduring symbol of leadership and perseverance in the face of adversity.
