Description
For two days and nights the crew tried to free the ship from ice, but the temperature continued to fall and the ice that had been broken, froze again. Endurance was the three-masted barquentine in which Ernest Shackleton sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. She was within 200 miles of her destination, Vahsel Bay, when heavy pack ice was sighted and a gale developed. She took shelter under the lee of a large grounded berg. On the morning of November 21, 1915, her bow began to sink under the ice and had to be abandoned. Photographed by Frank Hurley (cropped and cleaned).
