Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton was an Anglo-Irish polar explorer who led the 1914-1916 'Endurance' expedition to the Antarctic. He joined the merchant navy when he was 16, qualifying as a master mariner in 1898, keen to explore the poles. In 1914, Shackleton made his third trip to the Antarctic with the ship Endurance, with the aim of crossing the Antarctic from the Weddell Sea on one side to the Ross Sea on the other.
