The scariest job advert

So how about this job advert:

“Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.” Ernest Shackelton 1912/13 (This wanted ad apparently appeared in the London Times but has not been verified)

Dig deep – do you think you would have applied?
