ERNEST SHACKLETON

Story of Ernest Shackleton & crew and their survival in Antarctica 100 years ago

Mobile App to mark the centenary of Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the Antarctic

on the Endurance, ultimately the mission was a failure but the incredible story of how

Shackleton led the crew through survival in the most inhospitable place on Earth after

the Endurance sunk and they were adrift to survive on the ice.

For over 300 days the crew were adrift in the Antarctic, living on ice floes, uninhabited

islands and Shackleton led the most incredible rescue mission that ensured every

single one of the 28 crew survived. Incredible boat journeys in hurricane winds and

monstrous waves, a trek across uncharted mountain ranges and a crew that survived

are all part of the greatest story of survival and leadership the world has known.
