The Search for Endurance

- In early January, a team of Cambridge scientists set out on an expedition to study and map the Larsen C ice shelf in western Antarctica, and - ice conditions permitting - search for the wreckage of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance.
Professor Julian Dowdeswell, Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute, is chief scientist on the ambitious expedition, which will use drones, satellites and autonomous underwater vehicles to study ice conditions in the Weddell Sea in unprecedented detail.
The Weddell Sea is also the site of one of the most famous stories from the ‘Heroic Age’ of polar exploration.
The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition 1914-17 set out to cross Antarctica via the South Pole. However, in November 1915, Shackleton and his 28-man crew were confronted with one of the worst disasters in Antarctic history when Endurance was trapped, crushed and sunk by pack ice. The outside world was unaware of their predicament or location, food was scarce and the chance of survival was remote.
In this film, Professor Dowdeswell tells the incredible story of Endurance, and how he and the other members of the Weddell Sea expedition hope to locate the wreckage of one of the most iconic vessels in polar exploration.

The Endurance has been found after 107 years!
I like how this video is recommended to me when the Endurance wreckage was found like a couple of hours ago
The incredible thing about the expedition was that, despite losing the ship, marching across the ice to Elephant Island, travelling across the ocean to South Georgia, and crossing that Island over uncharted mountains, then returning to rescue the rest of his crew from Elephant Island, Shackleton didn't lose a single man. A true hero.
Half truths
I was just about to ask about the crew. Truly incredible.
They didn't march to Elephant Island.
This is probably one of the most enduring and brave stories ever! That Shackleton never gave up and retrieved his men is incredible! Brave men!
I read the book. Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew has to be the most badass men who ever lived. He and his crew of 28 all survived with all fingers and toes.
This is an exciting day that it finally has been found
Yep
LIVE, from the future: The day has finally come!!

(and a hell of a lot has happened in this world since this video came out..) 😥
What an incredible story. Thank you.
Shackelton's exceptional expedition will not leave me at peace. I watch everything. This attempt at reaching the ENDURANCE via ROV after all these years warms my heart. Sir Ernest would be excited. He is. I am certain.
Search is over!
Coming back to this now that she's been found!
What a good Idea of Shackleton & Worsley to bring along those 3 ships.
I'm a time traveller, this ship has been found off the coast of Antarctica.
She's been discovered in stunning condition
Well done
This is a brilliant project. The best of luck with it. I will be intrigued to see your findings. Are you planning on making a documentary about the expedition?
Meanwhile the Norwegian arctic explorer Vessel Fram is now displayed in a dedicated museum near Oslo in near perfect condition due to it having been designed specifically to be able to withstand being frozen solid into the artic ice repeatedly … Smart Norwegians.
This is a fantastic expedition I am keeping my fingers crossed that they are able to find the Endurance that will be a fantastic discovery
God speed.
And it has been found ... smile now 😊
Job done
He should’ve listened to the whalers on South Georgia Island. It’s a bad ice year....
The ship has been found !
They just found it. March 2022.
I went onboard the Fram in Oslo museum which is in great condition, even to rescue some pieces of the endurance would be great to have as part of antarctic exploration history
Finally found after 170 years
107
Now we found it!
Some of Frank Harley’s photographic negatives may be inside the wreck. Not to search for them would be a shame.
Its been found now.
Probably should've taken a radio transmitter as was standard kit on almost all ocean-going ships at the time.
they just found it 🙌🏻😂
Well she has been found finally.
Based on the final photos of the ship, all that will be found is a pile of wood.
It's a bit more than a pile of wood.
Incredibly well preserved shape.
'Endurance' brass name still nicely attached to the wood.
Why take nothing away from the underwater site of the Endurance? It's not a grave site like the Titanic. Bring away portions of the wreck for museums, so future generations can better understand what happened. Otherwise, it will simply rust or rot away.
They've tried surveillance etc with aevs and the likes. Nothing good's come of it. I don't think they've even successfully mapped the area. I think the project is named Endurance too.
well you can look at the bottom of the Weddell Sea
Well now they found her lol
It's like it sank yesterday.
