Ernest and the crew arrived at elephant island with 1 lifeboat and it was called James caird , Ernest Shackleton also had to take five of his strongest men and left a lot of men behind.Do you think this was a good idea? Ernest’s mission was to be the first person to walk one side to the other of Antarctica. Ernest started his mission on the 5th of December ,1914 and finished it on 20th may 1916. At first they traveled on the ship called Endurance, But sadly it got trapped in pack ice then they had to abandon the ship because it started to sink.

This is a picture of Ernest Shackleton as a young man and as you can see he has got very old clothes on.

This brave and noble man carried on his expedition for many years and lucky survived all the dangers of Antarctica.Ernest left 3 of his men behind in South Georgia and carried on and on their journey. The 3 men that were seeking for help had to use the James Caird as shelter so the could survive for a few horrible nights.Ernest Shackleton,Frank Worsely and Percy-climbed up a enormous m0untain and slid down as fast as a cheetah. Once they reached the other side all their dreams had just came true no more eating:Penguins,Seals and many more other sea animals.They were relieved to have been there and they knew that they were saved but there were some crew members left.
