Sir Ernest Shackleton along with his crew of over 20 men became stranded as their ship, The Endurance, was halted by immense sheets of ice. What transpired next is the stuff of nightmares! Fast-Forward ~100 years & recent deep dives in the area have re-discovered Shackleton's lost ship: The Endurance partly preserved below the ice!
