Shackleton Centenary Expedition
We are the descendants of Sir Ernest Shackleton's band of Antarctic explorers.
In 2008-09 we intend to follow in our ancestors' footsteps, and recreate the 1909 Nimrod Expedition, originally intended to be the first mission to the South Pole.
The original team got to within ninety-seven miles of the Pole before being forced back: one hundred years later we hope to reach the same point and then continue on, and in so doing, finish the business our forefathers began.
Our efforts go towards establishing a new charitable trust to be called The Shackleton Foundation, to honour the original crew and celebrate their pioneering spirit.
You can read more about the Shackleton Foundation and what we stand for, about the expedition, the team and matters Polar on this site.
Please get in touch if you think you can lend a hand: we look forward to hearing from you.
