im related to shackleton somehow, i think he was my grans great uncle

Tom Crean...the unsung hero...

..are these real footageses? :0

Yes, it is. Rent the 2000 Documentary The Endurance, and you'll never believe what they went through! It's an amazing story you'll never forget.

Shacks did better than Scott. He was a natural leader of men. Yes, his preparation was poor compared to Amundsen. So was everyone's! Amundsen was so amazingly prepared for his expedition he made going to the south pole look easy. Shackleton was more of a total leader, his men always had confidence in him. Not so for Scott.

its like God wanted a bunch 2 survive the journey, etc.....what a story,,,,, !!!!

cool.....is the stowaway story amazing or the story in general......? ill look out 4 it, tho

He may have been a survivalist but his judgment was atrocious. He sailed the ship into a 1000 mile wide ice field and just sat there for 10 months. Then he sailed for Elephant island when Deception had supplies and was closer. Then he chose to sail to South Georgia, 800 miles away he knew the harbor was on the other side of the island and when Deception was 250 milles from Elephant. He put those men through hell. Shakleton was a foolish foolish man.

he was stuck in the bloody ice for ten months! and some survived! not many other explorers of that time could of said the same!
