Ernest Shackleton

Tomorrow we will be reading about Ernest Shackleton. His goal was to be the first explorer to travel 1,500 miles across Antarctica. Following is an advertisement he put in the London newspaper:

"MEN WANTED: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success. Sir Ernest Shackleton."

No thank you, Shackleton, I think I will pass.
