Sir Ernest Shackleton
Shackleton was born at Kilkea House, near Athy, County Kildare, Ireland, on February 15, 1874, son of Henry Shackleton and Henrietta Letitia Sophia .
Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–17.
Away from his expeditions, Shackleton's life was generally restless and unfulfilled. In his search for rapid pathways to wealth and security, he launched business ventures which failed to prosper, and he died heavily in debt. Upon his death, he was lauded in the press, but was thereafter largely forgotten.
Later in the 20th century, Shackleton was "rediscovered", and rapidly became a role model for leadership as one who, in extreme circumstances, kept his team together in a survival story described by polar historian Stephanie Barczewski as "incredible".
Ernest was the second of ten children and the first of two sons. He was a voracious reader and his father was a doctor.
