Ernest Shackleton and his Antarctic expedition has been a study within the WFLDP since its formation. After 107 years, Shackleton's lost ship "Endurance" was found at the bottom of the Weddell Sea, renewing excitement for the leadership story. I encourage you to learn about (or better yet, share your knowledge of) the expedition.
We have started a list of resources you can use to conduct a case study of the expedition and one of the most powerful stories of resilience on record. We challenge you to share your resources in the comments.
