ICYMI - Previous attempts to locate the 144-foot-long Endurance, whose location was logged by its captain Frank Worsley, had failed due to the hostile conditions of the ice-covered Weddell Sea under which it lies.
“We are overwhelmed by our good fortune…,” said Mensun Bound, the expedition’s Director of Exploration.
Despite being stranded on the ice, the 28-man crew of the “Endurance” made it back home alive and theirs is considered one of the great survival stories of human history.
