-The '''Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition''' (1914–17), also known as the '''Endurance Expedition''', is considered the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Conceived by Sir [[Ernest Shackleton]], the expedition was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent. After the conquest of the [[South Pole]] by [[Roald Amundsen]] in 1911, this crossing remained, in Shackleton's words, the "one great main object of Antarctic journeying"." The expedition failed to accomplish this objective, but became recognized instead as an epic feat of endurance.
