Endurance : the discovery of Shackleton's legendary ship / John Shears and Nico Vincent.

Shears, John, (author.). Vincent, Nico, (author.).

Summary:

"In March 2022, an international polar expedition team made an astonishing find: the wreck of Ernest Shackleton's legendary Endurance, lost in 1915 after being crushed by ice and then swallowed by the Weddell Sea. The harrowing story of Shackleton's survival and rescue of all 27 men aboard is well known, but the ship has lain unseen for a century, 10,000 feet underwater--until now. The vessel remains incredibly intact, as crystal-clear photography and digital scans from the expedition reveal. A thrillingfirsthand account of the expedition coauthored by its leader and deputy leader, this is the first and only book to fully document the discovery, produced in full cooperation with the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust"-- Provided by publisher.
