REFLECTIVE COMMENT

  • I think he was curious because he travelled four times to get to Antarctica.
  • He was a risk taker by sailing to an unknown continent because you don't know what is there and it could be dangerous too.
  • He was a great communicator because he helped his crew stay alive while they were stranded for two years. It is amazing that nobody died.
