Who Was Ernest Shackleton?

As a boy he preferred reading sea stories to doing homework and, at age 16, became an apprentice seaman.

His courage in the face of dangerous conditions and unforeseeable tragedies reveal the great leader that he was. His historic 1914 journey aboard the Endurance has all the drama of an action movie.
