Book Direct with the Owner at Shackleton: Escape From Antarctica with Accommodation Redcliffe in Sydney City, for all your Attraction and travel needs.
One hundred years ago, the Anglo-Irish adventurer Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed aboard Endurance to Antarctica aiming to be the first to cross its vast interior. A support party followed on Aurora. Both ships were crushed in the ice and lost to their crews, who endured incredible hardship. Visitors can follow the exploits of both parties with modern-day adventurer Tim Jarvis, who re-enacted parts of Shackleton's epic survival trek. The exhibition features Australian Frank Hurley's stunning images, multimedia and interactive elements, rare and unusual artefacts from other explorers, and Tim Jarvis's replica of Shackleton's lifeboat James Caird.
