Their extraordinary bravery has made them legends .

But one woman claims that the real force behind the daring voyages of Sir Ernest Shackleton andCaptain Robert Falcon Scott were their wives.

Kari Herbert, daughter of Polar explorer Sir Wally Herbert, believes that it was only down to the urging ofthe explorers wives - plus their desire to impress them - that spurred on Britain's most greatest SouthPole explorers.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott re lied on the s trength and encourageme nt of his w ife

Kathleen to continue his explorations

The 42-year-old, who is no stranger to an explorer's life, has written a book about the women usuallyoverlooked in the lives of Shackleton and Scott.

But without them, she claims, the voyagers would never have had the confidence to pursue theirpioneering plans.

Kari Herbert has penned a book about the vital role explorers' wives have played

It was down to their support and encouragement - combined with Sir Ernest's desire to impress his futurewife Emily Dorman and ask for her hand in marriage - that was the backbone of their fortitude tocontinue exploring, Ms Herbert says.

Herbert has penned Polar Wives, bringing together the compelling stories of seven adventurous women.

She writes about the essential role the women played in supporting, publicizing, defending, and evenfinancing their husbands' expeditions.

She follows these faithful women not only to the polar wastelands but through war torn Macedonia andthe Australian outback.

The women written about are gifted sculptor Kathleen Scott (wife of Captain Robert Falcon Scott);eccentric traveller Jane Franklin; spirited poet Eleanor Anne Franklin; Jo Peary, the first white woman totravel and give birth in the High Arctic; talented and determined Emily Shackleton (wife of Sir ErnestShackleton); Norwegian singer Eva Nansen; and Kari's own mother, adventurer Marie Herbert.

She told the Edinburgh International Book Festival: 'I was hearing the voices of these women who hadnever been heard before,' the Daily Telegraph reported.

The two explorers' daring exploits are famous around the world - but it is their final voyages that provedjust how brave and determined they were.

Captain Scott set off on his expedition to reach the South Pole from Wales in June 1910, withmechanical sledges, ponies and dogs.

Ernest Shackleton w on the hand of his wife Emily after he proved how brave he

could be as an explorer , Herbert claims

But they were beaten to the South Pole by Norwegian Roald Amundsen, and began to make a returnjourney.

By January 1912, only five remained: Captain Robert Falcon Scott, 43, and his team of Dr EdwardWilson, Captain Laurence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans,

But it went tragically wrong and all five perished from either starvation or exposure by March 29 1912.

In 1914, experienced explorer Shackleton made his third trip to the Antarctic with the ship 'Endurance',planning to cross Antarctica via the South Pole.

Early in 1915, 'Endurance' became trapped in the ice and after it sank ten months later they set off inthree small boats, eventually reaching Elephant Island.

Taking five crew members, Shackleton spent 16 days crossing 1,300 km of ocean to reach SouthGeorgia, finding help who would rescue the crew in August 1916.

Sir Ernest's fourth - and last - expedition aimed to circumnavigate the Antarctic continent but on 5January 1922, he died of a heart attack just off South Georgia.
