start hiking across the mountains
on Georgia Island. They dont have
a map to show where they were going.
5. Patient-Blue
Ernest Shackleton is a very patient man. One example of his patience is on page 26. But by March 16, winter on the ice seemed inevitable. Shackleton ordered the fires to be burned down. The men all knew what that meant: they were stuck until the ice broke in the spring. Another example is when he announced they would stay where they were and let the drifting pack carry them Northward. From there they would be in better position to make for Paulet Island. They pitched camp where they were on the ice. The new camp was called Patience Camp.
6. Adventurous-Purple
Shackleton is also a very adventurous man. He once said, I am good as an explorer and nothing else.As a child he had been something of a loner reading adventure stories in the day. The author Armstrong wrote the forty year old Shackleton was a showman with a polar Glory. She also said he had been bitten hard by an exploration bug. Shackleton had gone to the South Pole twice before the journey of the Endurance.
7. Leader-Red
Shackletons leadership was very important to his journey.Shackleton was a master at keeping his crew working together. He never let the crew forget that their strength lay in unity.Under Shackletons leadership fighting never broke out among the men even though they werent exactly cut out to be buddies.Shackleton made sure the ships routine was always followed. Even when hiking across the mountains of Georgia Island Shackleton lead the way. He brought all the men home through the hard times.
8. Shackletons Special Place
A special place for Shackleton would be at the end of the South Pole where there is no more ice. Shackletons goal was to cross the South Pole end to end but he got stopped by the ice. It would be very special for him to make it across. On each of the three journeys he took to the South Pole his goal was ruined by Mother Nature. His polar glory was his life.
He set out on another journey after theEndurance in 1922 even though he was very sick. On his journey when he was close to dying Macklin the Doctor said to him youll have tochange your way of life boss. He said back to him that I cant do. He died soon after.

9. Confidence Button
Once Shackleton got home from the South Pole I would give him a Confidence Button. His motto was by endurance we conquer. A man in his crew named Bakewell said he was always cheerful and gave everyone confidence that we would get out of the Antarctic. Shackleton said he was confident that the Norwegian built ship with the thick skull could get them through the winter. He only had one concern that the ship would drift off course. He didnt even worry about them all surviving. Shackleton was confident the men could march 346 miles across the frozen sea with three lifeboats.

This button represents Shackletons confidence that they would get to land.

He would always give out
hot drinks to cheer everyone up.
By the end of the journey the crew

13. Shackletons song
I think Shackleton would really enjoy Eurekas song Going Home. The song is about him and his crews journey on the Endurance. Eurekas Going Home talks about Shackletons confidence that they will all get home alive. An example of this is the lines Our ship is gone but our will is strong. Wellsurvive. This is like when Bakewell said he was always cheerful and gave everyone confidence that we would get out of the Antarctic. The song is a brief summary of the key events. The words no missions won but hope is not gone have an important meaning. Shackletons goal was to go across the South Pole end to end but he was stopped by the ice. He never gave up hope though that they would get out of the ice and get back to land. The part about are stores are gone is about how all their food was gone. They had to eat seal to survive. I think this song nicely summarizes Shackletons journey.
