Answer the questions.
Why was it necessary for Shackleton to travel to South Georgia lsland?
Shackleton had to travel to South Georgia Island to get help to rescue the rest of his crew.
We had stayed on Elephant Island for only a day, but Shackleton was already worried. He realized that many of us were too ill to survive very long without rescue. He decided to go to South Georgia Island for help. He chose five members to join him on the trip and I was one of them.
2. Why was it important to include a navigator in the team?
It was important to include a navigator so they would know where they were going and not get lost.
I have been working on ships for my whole life and my strong navigation skills could guide us across the dangerous sea.
Answer the questions.
Why did Shackleton choose the most difficult and unfriendly man to join the rescue mission?
Shackleton chose him because he wanted the crew left behind to remain cheerful and positive and the man would have had a negative influence on the crew.
However, to my surprise Shackleton also picked the most difficult and unfriendly member to join us on the trip. I later learnt that he did this because he wanted the group remaining on the island to stay cheerful and positive until we returned.
Answer the questions.
4. Why did Shackleton look extremely old?
Shackleton looked extremely old because he was very worried about the fate of his crew left behind.
However due to the rough seas, we could not get near to the island, Shackleton became worried about the men. He was very anxious and began to look extremely old. We tried for three months to rescue the 22 men.
Answer the questions.

until we returned.
We sailed on very for days. The sea was so strong that it was almost impossible for me to check our position. I was only able to use my instruments three times during the trip. It scared me to think that we might sail past South Georgia Island. This would mean that we might sail into the open sea and there would be no rescue!
