Ernest Shackleton’s Epic Voyage of the Endurance A Successful Failure
Background Ernest Shackleton wanted to make a name for himself by leading two ships and two crews on a Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Despite the weak reputation that preceded him and a nation preparing for war, Shackleton was able to gather the funds necessary to make the trip. During the journey, Shackleton had to deal with issues amongst his crew, harsh weather conditions, and eventually sickness among his crew members. In the end, Shackleton’s persistence paid off and he was able to lead every last man to safety. Depending on which context is used to evaluate this case, Shackleton’s expedition can be viewed as a successful failure.
Alternatives Put off the expedition until a better time Use an alternate route Leave the ship within sight of land
