The Endurance on the outward journey. After the Norwegian Amundsen (December 1911) and Scott (January 1912) had reached the South Pole, Shackleton thought up and attempted to carry out another great plan - to cross the 2000 mile Antarctic continent.

Losing no time Shackletons next move was to be one of the greatest small boat journeys ever made. Shackleton and 5 others set off in the 22 foot boat the James Caird on an 800 mile journey across one of the roughest seas in the world to island of South Georgia to get help. Two other members of the crew were from Ireland - Tom Crean from Annascaul in County Kerry and Tim McCarthy from County Cork. Tom Crean was one of the great crew members of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration.He was strong, courageous and good humoured and experienced - he had already already been on two of Scotts expeditions - and was awarded the Albert Medal for bravery.
