"His name is synonymous with courage, determination and adventure. Yet the best-known of all the polar explorers never reached his ultimate goal.
Ernest Shackleton died on January 5th, 1921 at a remote whaling outpost on South Georgia Island. It was the site of his greatest triumph--five years earlier, he had brought all 27 crewmen of his failed 1914 attempt to cross the Antarctic continent safely back to the island after being castaway in the Weddell Sea for well over a year. BIOGRAPHY® goes beyond the legendary Endurance expedition to tell the complete story of the famed explorer. See how he obtained his fist sailing position at the age of 16 with the help of his father and quickly earned a reputation for being "pig-headed and obstinate." Follow his 1909 expedition to the South Pole, which was foiled by bad weather less than 100 miles from its goal, and explore his life away from the ice with the help of scholars, archivists and his granddaughter.
This far-reaching portrait features many famous photos taken by Frank Hurley during the Endurance."
