Shackleton or Scott, say (8)

I believe the answer is:

explorer

(Other definitions for explorer that I've seen before include "One carrying out system-atic investigations" , "Traveller visiting unknown areas" , "Traveller seeking discoveries" , "Traveller in unknown parts" , "Eg, Livingstone, Park" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
