Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition

Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team of men set out to conquer the Antarctic continent as the world became embroiled in World War One.

All but forgotten back home in Britain, Shackleton's expedition drifted with the ice for nearly two years. Facing hunger, loneliness, near-mutiny and what has come to be known as the greatest small-boat journey in history, this is their story.

Much of the information in this resource can be seen at the website for Amercan Natural History - http://www.amnh.org
and the Kodak site has an excellent resource on Shackleton's voyage.

How can this be used in school?
Well much of what happened was recorded in the sailors' diaries and this could be explored using Google Earth placemarks and descriptions to plot their course.

UK Literacy Strategy links include:
Letter writing: Year 3 Term 3
Recounts: Year 5 Term 1
Diaries: Year 6 Term 1
Poetry through other text types: Year 6 Term 2
