Endurance on ice

Endurance on ice

This Image is taken from the Polar expedition Endurance where the ship Endurance became stranded on the ice before it ever reached its destination. The ship was eventually crushed by the ice and the crew had to escape the ice and find land.

This image shows the Endurance trapped on the ice, listing heavily to the port side.
