Ernest Shackleton war Vater von 3 Kindern: Edward Shackleton (* 1911), Raymond Shackleton (* 1905), Cecily Jane Swinford Shackleton (* 1906).
Ernest Shackleton war ein britischer Polarforscher irischer Abstammung, der am 15. Februar 1874 geboren wurde und am 5. Januar 1922 verstarb. Shackleton nahm an insgesamt vier Antarktisexpeditionen teil und leitete davon drei. Seine erste Erfahrung in der Antarktis sammelte Shackleton als Dritter Offizier unter Robert Falcon Scott bei der Discovery-Expedition. Scott schickte Shackleton aber vorzeitig nach Hause, angeblich wegen gesundheitlicher Probleme, die Shackleton jedoch bestritt. Um diesen vermeintlichen Makel auszugleichen, kehrte Shackleton 1908 mit der Nimrod-Expedition in die Antarktis zurück. Mit drei Begleitern erreichte er im Januar 1909 den bis dahin südlichsten Punkt, musste aber etwa 180 Kilometer vor dem Südpol umkehren. König Edward VII. adelte Shackleton für diese Leistung. Nachdem Roald Amundsen 1911 den Südpol erreichte, plante Shackleton die Durchquerung des antarktischen Kontinents. Auch dieses Vorhaben scheiterte mit der Endurance-Expedition. Das Schiff wurde 1915 vom Packeis zerdrückt und sank. Shackleton gelang es jedoch, alle Expeditionsteilnehmer zu retten. 1921 unternahm Shackleton mit der Quest-Expedition seine letzte Reise in die Antarktis. Er starb jedoch noch vor Beginn der eigentlichen Forschungsreise in Grytviken an einem Herzinfarkt. Seine Frau wünschte sich, dass er dort begraben wird. Neben seinen Expeditionen war Shackleton rastlos und suchte oft nach schnellem Ruhm und Reichtum, scheiterte aber mit vielen seiner Unternehmungen und war am Ende seines Lebens hoch verschuldet.
Ernest Shackleton wurde in Kilkea Castle, Irland, geboren.

A cloth covered album containing 48 photographic prints relating to the National Antarctic Expedition between 1901 and 1903 when E. H. Shackleton was sent home. The album is inscribed by Shackleton "With kindest wishes from E. H. Shackleton to the Missis Dawson Lambton in Remembrance of the great share they took in helping the Expedition, June 1905."
