In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent by foot. After battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and a day's sail short of its destination, his ship became locked in an island of ice.
Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. For ten months the ice-moored Endurance drifted northwest before it was finally crushed between two ice floes.
With no options left, Shackleton and a skeleton crew attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantics heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization.
