Shackleton's literary context lies within the tradition of exploration narratives, combining detailed observations of the unyielding landscape with a profound psychological portrait of survival, camaraderie, and leadership as the crew battles both physical despair and the bitter cold of the polar environment. Ernest Shackleton, an Anglo-Irish explorer born in 1874, was driven by an insatiable quest for discovery and a longing to test the limits of both human endurance and geographical boundaries.
