Simon Star
Expedition to Antarctica.
A famous explorer, Sir Ernest
8 Shackleton, wanted to cross
Antarctica. In 1914, he started
the expedition, but ice closed
around the ship. They took smaller boats and made
a camp on the snow. They lost their ship when it
went down under the ice and water.
They couldn’t move because the weather was
terrible. They caught fish and drank water which
they got from snow. Later, they had to eat their dogs.
Shackleton and some of his men climbed over
mountains of ice, found help and went back for the
other men. Everybody came home two years after
the start of their expedition. They didn’t
cross Antarctica.
