There was too much ice. The boat crashed into the ice. The ice punctured a hole in the ship. They couldn't sail with a hole in the boat. They had to walk on the ice

For many years, Antarctic explorers have tried to explore the most inhospitable place in the world. In the story of the Endurance, Ernest Shackleton and a crew of twenty-eight men were trying to be the first group to cross the Antarctic continent from east to west. On the way to land their boat, Endurance, became trapped in pack ice and they had to spend the Polar night in their ship. In this expedition, it was imperative for the crew to have high energy levels, have good social relationships, and

As humans, we have experienced sad and happy times, but when trials come, we often feel depressed and hopeless. The men on the Endurance faced starvation, extreme cold, tests of patience, sorrow, and the battle for courage and hope. Though they had many trials; they would not let them choke the moral. Instead of showing anxiety and fear, they chose to show a face that could encourage one another. They used the positivity, which in their case was cheerfulness and laughter, which was almost always

Mental Endurance in Alfred Lansing's Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage In Endurance Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, Alfred Lansing recounts the tale of one of the greatest successes of the Twentieth Century. Ironically, Lansing's detailed account of the 1915 Trans-Antarctic Expedition illuminates the stark reality that Sir Ernest Shackleton's expedition did not fulfill its goal. In fact, the expedition never even set foot upon the continent that they had intended to cross. The outstanding

A major set-back of Shackleton’s expedition was the loss of their main ship, The Endurance. ..we have been compelled to abandon the ship, which is crushed beyond all hope of ever being righted, (Shackleton 1915). The destruction of their ship led to 28 men being stranded and to carry all their supplies. Shackleton was left with more men

into a 100-mile radius of Antarctica. He was as famous as famous could be, and was a hero to thousands who read his book “Furthest South” expedition. He was also the leader of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and before he set out on the Endurance he had already been to the Antarctic twice. There was a race to the South Pole and Shackleton just had to win it. But, Shackleton’s attempt abruptly came to a stop because he was thrown back by terrible weather conditions, weather conditions 20 times

throughout his whole expedition, which would be extremely hard. At one point thick, greasy smoke from the blubber stove turned Shackletons face black and regularly sent him bursting outside coughing, but he still stayed cheerful. When they had to leave Endurance he was making jokes with another crew member. On December 31, 1915, shackleton wrote in his diary. “The

he was sure he would succeed on. He was to cross Antarctica from sea to sea. Nothing was going to stop him this time…. he thought. Shackleton had heard it was going to be a bad year for ice. He never expected what happened. Shackleton’s ship, The Endurance was encased in ice, and on October 27th 1915 the ship sank. A normal person in this situation would give up. He had suffered enough losses. Shackleton persevered, he always remained optimistic, and instilled that behaviour in his men. If Shackleton
