看多了各类探险家的故事，就会试着去思考何为探险家，何为探险精神。

如果以目标是否实现来衡量的话，沙克尔顿几乎所有的探险都是不成功的，20世纪初5次出征南极未果，但这并不妨碍他成为伟大的探险家。

关于探险家，***给出的定义是：为了探测新事物等目的而深入危险或不为人知的地方进行探索的人。 探险者通常是来自一个国家或文明最先到达某地方的人。 也可以指冒险家、旅行家或者职业航海家等等。

我们能够从中看出两点，首先是“为了探测新事物”，新事物的发现意味着对世界的重大影响；其次是“深入危险或不为人知的地方”，这需要的勇气、毅力、坚韧等优秀的人类品格。

沙克尔顿虽然不是第一个到达南极点的人，也不是第一个徒步穿越南极***的人，但作为开拓者，他向人们展示了以上探险行为的可能性，引领了一个时代。

If you read many stories about explorers, you will try to think about what is an explorer, what is the spirit of adventure.

Almost all Shackleton's expeditions were unsuccessful when measured by the achievement of his goals. Five failed expeditions to the South Pole in the early 20th century did not stop him from being a great explorer.

An explorer is defined by Wikipedia as a person who travels deep into ***erous or unknown places for the purpose of discovering new things, for example. Explorers are usually the first people from a country or civilization to reach a place. It can also mean adventurer, traveler, professional navigator, etc.

We can see two things from this. First, "to detect something new", the discovery of something new means a great impact on the world; The second is "going into ***erous or unknown places", which requires good human qualities such as courage, perseverance and fortitude.

Shackleton was not the first man to reach the South Pole, nor the first to walk across the continent, but as a pioneer he ushered in an era by showing what was possible.
