Read and answer:


A famous explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, wanted to cross Antarctica. In 1914 he started the expedition
but ice closed round the ship. They took smaller boats and made a camp on the snow. They lost their ship when
it went down under the ice and water.
They couldn’t move because the weather was terrible. They caught fish and drank water which they got
from snow. Later, they had to eat their dogs.
Shackleton and some of his men climbed over moutains of ice, found help and went back for other men.
Everybody came home two years after the start of their expedition. They didn’t cross Antarctica.
