On three separate occasions Shackleton sought to reach the South Pole. On the first two attempts, he came closer each time, but had to turn around without achieving his goal. The third time, he never had a chance to start. His ship the Endurance was locked in the ice and eventually crushed, leading to one of the great survival stories of all times. Presenter Mark Jordan is an intrepid adventurer and lecturer with an abiding interest in exploration, especially Polar exploration. He recently adventured to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, tracing much of the route taken by Sir Ernest Shackleton in his Endurance Expedition. Mr. Jordan, a retired attorney, teaches and lectures on a variety of historical topics.
