Sir Ernest Shackleton

Sir Ernest and his crew set out to achieve the first land crossing of Antarctica but Endurance did not reach land and became trapped in dense pack ice.

Cambridge researchers hope to find the lost ship of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton during a major expedition next year.

In 1915 Sir Ernest Shackleton tried and failed to reach the South Pole. 100 years on a group from Cambridge hope to finish his journey.
