ShackletonResistencia Expedición

Portrait of Shackleton by Endurance photographer, Frank Hurley

Shackleton's crew at sea aboard Endurance somewhere between Buenos Aires and South Georgia with supporter Sir Daniel Gooch.

Endurance trapped in the ice - "like an almond in a chocolate bar."

Shackleton triggered this incident by giving chief engineer, Louis Rickinson, a buzzcut. Soon, everyone on Endurance had crewcuts amid great hilarity.

The marooned crew sees off the James Caird, as Shackleton and companions set off on a desperate 750-mile voyage in a 22' boat to get help.

The doughty James Caird survives the roughest ocean in the world, a rogue wave and a hurricane to land on the desolate side of South Georgia island.

The mountains of South Georgia and Shackleton, Worsley and Crean crossed to seek aid for their marooned companions - 30 miles in 36 hours across mountains and glaciers, through a waterfall and across a half-frozen lake.

Miraculously, everyone survived. Photograph of the crew in Punta Arenas after being rescued.
