Ernest Shackleton
Life Size Bust in Plaster


Shackleton was an Anglo-Irish Antarctic explorer, best known for leading the 'Endurance' expedition of 1914-16.

Ernest Henry Shackleton was born on 15 February 1874 in County Kildare, Ireland. His father was a doctor.

The family moved to London where Shackleton was educated.

Rejecting his father's wish that he become a doctor, he joined the merchant navy when he was 16 and qualified as a master mariner in 1898.
He travelled widely but was keen to explore the poles.
More Info
In 1901, Shackleton was chosen to go on the Antarctic expedition led by British naval officer Robert Falcon Scott on the ship 'Discovery'.

With Scott and one other, Shackleton trekked towards the South Pole in extremely difficult conditions, getting closer to the Pole than anyone had come before.

Shackleton became seriously ill and had to return home but had gained valuable experience.

Robert Falcon Scott
06.06.1868 – 2903 1912
Plaster

Captain Robert Falcon Scott CVO was a British Royal Navy officer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: the Discovery expedition of 1901–04 and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910–13

In 1899, he had a chance encounter with Sir Clements Markham, the president of the Royal Geographical Society, and learned of a planned Antarctic expedition, which he soon volunteered to lead. His name became inseparably associated with the Antarctic, the field of work to which he remained committed during the final 12 years of his life.

The Base
There are objects around the base of the bust depicting events and themes from Scott's fatal polar expedition. We have included the ponies, his ship, a motorised metal Sledge, a map of Antartica.
