MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS
JOURNEY
Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant
danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of
success. |
This was how Ernest Shackleton, the
charismatic Anglo-Irish explorer, advertised for crew to accompany him on the
barquentine Endurance to sail to Antarctica and attempt the first land
crossing of the continent via the South Pole.
