Most explorers are famous for their successes and triumphs, but
Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton never met his ultimate
goal of crossing the Antarctic continent. Instead, he is best known
for an expedition that took a horrible turn for the worse. In
January 1915, as Shackleton and his crew of 27 men sailed the
Endurance through the pack ice of the Weddell Sea, the temperature
suddenly plummeted. The slushy water surrounding the ship froze
into a solid block of ice, trapping Endurance in the frozen sea.
Slowly, the pressure from the moving ice floes crushed Endurance
and pulled it down to a watery grave, marooning the men hundreds of
miles from land. In an astonishing tale of survival, Shackleton led
his men through more than 850 miles of the South Atlantic's
treacherous seas. Never giving up hope for rescue and overcoming
the worst of obstacles, he managed to miraculously save all 27 of
his men.
