The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition documents one of the greatest tales of survival in expedition history, the dramatic, near-fatal expedition to Antarctica led by Sir Ernest Shackleton in 1914. When the ship Endurance became trapped in pack ice on the Weddell Sea and was eventually crushed, the crew was stranded on the ice, and on desolate Elephant Island for 18 months. Haunting expedition photographs, diary entries, and vintage film footage bring this astonishing epic to vivid life. The Endurance is a riveting man-against-nature story with a miraculous ending; in 18 months, not one life was lost.
The Endurance is a photography show ideal for smaller venues.
