The ship Endurance was the vessel used by Sir Ernest Shackleton for an Antarctic expedition in 1914. It became trapped in pack ice and eventually crushed, leading to an epic survival story as Shackleton and his crew abandoned ship and journeyed to safety.
It was the ill fated ship that was trapped in the Weddell Sea by ice flows, and ultimately, sank. The crew remained stranded in the Antarctic for two years. Fascinating story of survival.

the discovery
All explorers' ships were 'trapped in ice' during Antarctica's winter. The period was generally for weeks between about February and about November, depending on the location of the ship.
Ernest Shackleton and his crew became trapped in the Antarctic ice on January 19, 1915, when their ship, the Endurance, was beset while attempting to cross the continent. The ship drifted with the ice for several months before ultimately being crushed and sinking in November 1915. This event marked the beginning of their challenging survival journey in one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth.
It is a ship that was the first to reach the south pole. But it was crushed from the ice. And thankfully no one was hurt or killed.
