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.
