Shackleton  Endurance

A site dedicated to the life and times of Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton the great Antarctic Explorer


"For scientific leadership, give me Scott, for swift and efficient travel give me Amundsen.  But when you are in a hopeless situation, when you are seeing no way out, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton."

(Sir Raymond Priestley - a member of the 1907-09 Nimrod Expedition.)

Things sure were a lot more livelier when we had a message board, so I've brought it back. You don't need to join the board to view it, just to post. Enjoy!

I noticed it has been a year since the last update so I just wanted to check in

I have been getting about 20 to 30 spam messages each day from listing my email on this site. I've changed it as you can see on the bottom of almost any page on this site.

It is hard to believe it has been 5 years since I started this site.  I originally put it up on September 3rd, 1998. The site was originally just one page, and it grew over the next few years. I've continued to be amazed at the number of people so interested in Shackleton, and how active the message board is.

Updated the FAQ as a few models of the Endurance have been found. Also the obituaries are now being hosted in a different site. Great work thanks to John Mann.

I gave the whole site a long over due face lift. Changed the font and the background color. I also made it such that I can make future changes easier. I also made minor updated to many of the pages. I removed or corrected all the broken links I could find. I also updated the faq, and movie pages. Let me know if you see anything weird, I might have missed something.
