Shackleton’s expedition in 1914 aimed to traverse Antarctica, but his ship, the Endurance, sank in the Weddell Sea before reaching the continent, leading to an incredible survival story.
The 2022 recovery mission used cutting-edge undersea exploration technology to search for the Endurance’s wreck, guided by a skilled international team in one of the world's most challenging seas.
Endurance, the upcoming National Geographic documentary, intertwines the narrative of Shackleton's crew with the modern expedition that sought to find their lost ship, bringing historical events to life.
Directors Natalie Hewit and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, alongside producer Ruth Johnson, discuss the challenges they faced in documenting this rich history of survival and exploration.
