![]() ![]() To voyage to the South Pole seems perfectly absurd, but that is what makes them heroic. This could be said of his entire crew as well. One could say that Sir Ernest Shackleton's voyage is an act of heroism. The question asked by this story seems to be, "Why would anyone do such a thing?" When Sir Ernest Shackleton undertakes perhaps the most dangerous voyage of all time, knowing there will be nothing but ice for him to discover, why does he do such a thing? Why does his crew agree to go with him, to work the ropes in deadly low temperatures? Why do five members of the surviving crew return to explore the Drake Passage? The purpose of the non-fictional story seems to indicate human tenacity and bravery in the face of meaninglessness and death.
