As Ernest Shackleton's expedition entered the annals of polar exploration, it inspired a new global race to find the wrecked Endurance, by all accounts "the world's most unreachable shipwreck." Several missions failed, thwarted, as Shackleton was, by the unpredictable Weddell Sea. Finally, a century to the day after Shackleton's death, renowned marine archeologist Mensun Bound and an elite team of explorers discovered the lost shipwreck. This book chronicles two dramatic expeditions - complete with captivating photos from the 1914 expedition and of the wreck as Bound and his team found it.
