The Endurance left England for Antarctica in August, 1914 with polar explorer Ernest Shackelton and twenty-seven men on board. By January 1915 the Endurance had become locked inside an island of ice. For ten months the ice-moored Endurance drifted northwest before it was finally crushed. Then the true test of survival began for Shackleton and his men and they struggled to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas. Their ordeal ended only after a miraculous journey by Shackleton and a skeleton crew over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization.
