The Adventure of Shackleton

Ernest Shackleton led an expedition to cross the Antarctic continent in 1915. His ship, the Endurance, became trapped and crushed in ice. Shackleton kept the crew alive for over a year as they camped on ice floes until they reached land. He then took a small group on an incredibly dangerous voyage to get help, traveling over 800 miles in an open lifeboat. After multiple failed attempts, Shackleton finally rescued all 21 crew members, demonstrating extraordinary leadership and perseverance in the face of immense challenges.

be being the first place in the soccer group or just being the best in the class or even in the school.
Like Shackleton he had many dreams and challenges to fulfill, and one of them was to pass through
the Antarctic to one end to the other, and you would say that that’s the craziest thing you have ever
heard, but that’s what produce in someone the fact of a tentative goal in front of you, make crazy
stuff.
· Like all the things, there's always good and bad things that will happen during the experience. Sir
Shackleton wasn't in the mood to quit his dream, he wasn't like those people. In 1915 the
Endurance crushed and sunk. He told to all these that they will need to continue even so if their life
were in risk. On that time, a famous phrase of him was “Difficulties are just things to overcome, after
all.” ladies and gentlemen, that’s right, there are just things to overcome
