6 Quotes & Sayings By Ernest Shackleton

Ernest Shackleton was a British army officer who commanded the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The expedition was conceived as an attempt to cross Antarctica from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea via the South Pole, in order to reach South America by following the route taken by Robert F. Scott and his team of 18 men in 1912–1913. Shackleton led an expedition of 28 men for nine months, became one of the first people to cross Antarctica on foot, and established several new records for Antarctic endurance; he also experienced numerous hardships. Shackleton wrote his own memoirs "South" (1927) where he talks about his mission, his failed attempt at reaching South America, and gives fascinating historical details about Antarctica's early explorers.

For a change one may walk from the graveyard to the slaughterhouse. Ernest Shackleton
