The Endurance



What do you know of The Endurance; that fateful ship, captained by Ernest Shakleton. It really is a fascinating story and tells of what happens when a tall ship is grounded and crushed by the unforgiving, unrelenting ice of the North. The crew is stranded and there is no choice but to send a small party to find help. Could you last 22 months on a block of ice? This site has all the details, as well as the pictures that photographer Frank Hurley took chronicling the terrible ordeal.
