ENDURANCE22
The hunt for Shackleton’s lost ice ship
The Expedition
In February 2022, a major international scientific expedition will explore one of the coldest, harshest and most remote locations in the world, in a quest to find the Endurance. Using underwater robots, helicopters and other state-of-the-art technology, the Endurance22 expedition aims to be the first to locate and survey Sir Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship which sank in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica in 1915.
The Expedition Vessel
The Endurance22 expedition provides an unprecedented opportunity to explore one of the most remote and least studied places on our planet in a quest to uncover the lost secrets of the Endurance. Carrying a team of over 65 members, the mission will be conducted from the South African polar research and logistics vessel, S.A. Agulhas II.
The Search Area
The approximate location of Endurance was logged by the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley, using a sextant and a theodolite at the spot where she eventually sank in 1915, after becoming trapped and eventually crushed by the thick sea ice of the Weddell Sea. The Endurance22 expedition team will use this information in the hope to get as close as possible to the Endurance wreck site.

As you all know, one thing I do only under the most extreme duress is pose in maritime environments.
I worry that there may be great pressure to do this on @endurance_22
Today is 100 years since the death of the great explorer Sir Earnest Shackleton.
