Ernest Shackleton was a born explorer. His biography describes him as being restless and unsatisfied when he wasn't out on some new expedition. He's not the most famous explorer, but he brought his men back from the brink of disaster, and that's worth celebrating.
''“For scientific discovery, give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of 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”

He aborted ALL his expeditions. But he never lost a single man. There's a story of how he kept a cracker all throughout 1 expedition. Everyone on the verge of starvation - he gives the cracker to the youngest member of the expedition. It was just 1 simple cracker - but to that boy it meant the world.

Truly am awe inspiring story of how they navigated back. Niggers couldn't even build a boat to explore in any direction more than 5 miles from the coast

They climbed over the ice wall and found paradise. Adolf Hitler probably welcomed them. Maybe the flat earthers were right. It's fucking strange we only ever see one side of the moon and strange the moon and sun are basically the same size despite being so far apart and unequal distance. All this stuff supposedly by random chance.
