'Endurance' trapped in the ice.

By endurance we conquer: Shackleton and his men

Wed 21 October 2015 - Sat 18 June 2016

Scott Polar Research Institute

Shackleton and his men survived one of the worst disasters in Antarctic history: their ship, 'Endurance', was crushed and sank, and the outside world was unaware of their predicament or location. Despite what seemed like impossible odds all of them were, finally, rescued. This major centenary exhibition will commemorate all the men that sailed with Shackleton aboard the 'Endurance', and the Ross Sea Party - three of whom lost their lives - that laid the supply depots for the planned crossing of the Antarctic continent.

Cost: Free-of-charge
