The expedition aimed to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. It failed to accomplish this but instead became recognized as an epic feat of endurance when Shackleton rescued all 27 of his men and bought them home without a single loss of life.
Falkland Islands Journal Editor Jim McAdam, who attended a commemorative event in Plymouth, kindly provided Penguin News with the following account of Shackleton’s first public lecture, which was held in the Falkland Islands in May 1916.
