Shackleton and his 27-man crew made their escape northwards, dragging their lifeboats across the pack ice in those places where they couldn't sail on the sea surface. The team has now withdrawn from the area because of deteriorating weather and sea-ice conditions. The researchers immediately set about putting down an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to go map a wide grid in waters that are 3,000m deep.

It was the first time anyone had tried to locate the shipâs position, which was recorded by the Endurance captain Frank Worsley when she sank after being crushed by sea ice 104 years ago. With Liam Neeson, Julian Ayer, John Blackborow, David Cale. The team hopes the ice shelf "will be able to provide some insight into global warming and climate change," Antelme said. He succeeded, despite having to navigate across 1,000km of the Southern Ocean in a tiny boat. The 44m-long steam yacht drifted for nine months before the pressure of the ice holed the hull and floodwater took it under. He knew it would be tough, which prompted the now famous crew recruitment advert: .css-po6dm6-ItalicText{font-style:italic;}"Men wanted for hazardous journey.
