Shackleton’s Expedition

In 1914, a great leader began a great adventure but he did not know that they are not called great explorers, but he will be called some of the great survivors. That man is Sir Ernest Shackleton, he is determined to be the one who wore the Vietnamese first. He rarely knows his biggest challenge will ultimately be the ability to guide the team to survive. He also does not know that their survival, determination, and courage to survive the people of the 21st century, and books detailing their stories will be used as models of leadership.

Shackleton was a famous British explorer in the early 20th century. After two explorations to Antarctica, by 1914 Shackleton decided he would try the most ambitious adventure: from the south to the sea, from one coast to the other. At that time, it had never been done before and it is generally considered impossible. By January 1915, we were completely trapped in the drift ice ocean. All of their plans disappeared soon. Originally ambitious exploration, it quickly became a desperate struggle for survival. They are obliged to abandon the original plan, they are fighting the Arctic for the next two years and fighting for their lives. After all, after the spectacular 17 day high sea crossing the lifeboat, Shackleton found help, borrowed a new ship, rescued his men and made everyone go home.

In January 2013, a joint team from Australia and Australia began to recreate Shackleton's trip to the South Sea in 1916. Under the direction of explorer and environmental scientist Tim Jarvis, the team gathered at the request of Ms. Ernest's granddaughter Alexandra Shackleton and believed that this trip will respect the grandfather's legacy. In October 2015, Shackleton decorations and medals were auctioned; sales collected 585,000 pounds. The team became the first team to reproduce the so-called "double span"; from Elephant Island to South Georgia, and King Hurcon Bay (close to Shackleton's nearly 100 years) South Georgia Mountains passed through Stromness from the former landing site . The expedition became a documentary, screened as Chasing Shackleton in US PBS and screened at Shackleton: Death or Glory elsewhere in the Discovery Channel.

At my friend 's recommendation, I recently read Edward Lansing' s explanation of Shackleton 's 1914 - 16 Antarctic Studies. Published in 1959, Lansing has access to many private diaries and letters related to the expedition and draws it based on a dramatic story from this archive. As Shackleton is committed to ensuring that the morale of the team is faced with seemingly difficult difficulties, this book gains insight into the essence of British thinking and attractive management in this era Provide direct insight. It will not fail. Apsley Cherry-Garrard's "The World's Worst Journey" is a wonderful book.
