timbers are still very much together, and the name
—Endurance— is clearly visible on the stern. What
made this ship so valuable? There are two main
causes behind this: The tale of Shackleton’s Imperial
Trans-Antarctic Expedition is the first. It set out to make
the first land crossing of Antarctica, but the expedition
ship, the Endurance, became stuck and subsequently
holed by sea ice, forcing it to abandon the mission.
It was all about survival from then on. Shackleton
navigated his men to safety in a small lifeboat on rough
seas. The other factor was the difficulty of locating
the ship. The Weddell Sea is almost always coated in
heavy sea ice, the same sea ice that broke Endurance’s
hull. It is difficult enough to get close to the presumed
sinking area, let alone undertake a search.
