Look at the picture on the opening page and discuss
1. What happened to “Endurance” in the photo
This ship in the photo looks as if it has got stuck in some ice.
2. How would you feel and what would you do if you were on this ship
If I were on that ship, I would feel worried because it is probably far from any land or town and one could run out of supplies quickly. Although it might be best to stay on the ship and wait for help to come, I think I would leave and try to find help, because no one would find you in such a place. Any rescue ship would face the same problem!

What personal qualities did Shackleton, Wild, and Blackborow exhibit Find examples from the text to support your answers.
Shackleton showed kindness when he allowed Blackborow to stay on the ship and gave him a job. He showed calmness when he asked the crew to collect essentials. He showed he was not selfish when he left his gold behind, but showed he was thinking of others’ feelings by allowing Hussey to keep his banjo. He showed great bravery by setting off to find help for the rest of the crew.
Wild was shown to be kind when he tried to lift Blackborow’s spirits.
Blackborow was enthusiastic at first, making sure he got on the expedition. Although he felt low later, he tried to think about better things, showing again his positive character.
