The Endurance is the true story of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his
ill-fated expedition to Antarctica in the winter of 1914-1915. Determined
to be the first man to cross the continent of Antarctica, Shackleton
and his men set out on a ship called The Endurance in August of
1914. By December of that year they had made it to the ice pack
around the frozen continent. Struggling through the unusually heavy
ice, the ship made it to within a few miles of Antarctica before
the weather and the ice began to push them back out into the Weddell
Sea. In October of 1915, the crew was still trapped in the ice floes,
and the Endurance was crushed.
