Short answer twice. Long answer: He went once as part of Scott's team, but was sent home after getting sick on an expedition. He later went back himself as the leader of an expedition to be the first to walk from one side of the Antarctic to the other, but didnt achieve it.
he dicovered that he was not first to reach the south pole.
Shackleton's first challenge was the ship breaking. It broke and he had to race against time to take everything out. The cold weather was another challenge. On one attempt to reach the South Pole in 1908, all of his ponies died and there were heavy storms. On a second attempt to reach the South Pole in 1914, his ship was crushed by pack ice, forcing the expedition to walk 1,200 km to South Georgia. Five months later they were rescued by a Chilean warship. On a third attempt to reach the South Pole in 1921, Shackleton died from a heart condition.
Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922) was a British explorer who commanded three expeditions to the Antarctic (1907-09, 1914-17, 1921-22), during which the South Magnetic Pole was located in 1909.
90 Degrees.
James Cook never saw the South Pole. Pack ice and the fact that his sails kept freezing up stopped him from even reaching the Antarctic continent, let alone the theoretical point known as the South Pole. Cook was the first European to cross the Antarctic Circle, but he did not reach the South pole.
Antarctica. He failed trying to be the first to the south pole and crossing the continent.
Shackleton achieved 89 degrees S, which is about 66 miles from the South Pole.
Shackleton was the first to reach the closest point to the South Pole; Shackleton reached 88 degrees 23 minutes on the South Polar Plateau on January 9, 1909.

His primary objective was to discover the South Pole, but was defeated by his use of ponies instead of huskies and heavy storms. The 1907-09 expedition got to within 178 km of the South Pole.
