The Endurance ship was a three-masted ship that set off in 1914–1917 as part of the Imperial Transantarctic Expedition, considered the last great expedition of the Heroic Era of Antarctic Exploration. Led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, a British explorer, the expedition aimed to traverse the Antarctic continent from sea to sea via the South Pole. However, the expedition faced major challenges when their ship, the Endurance, became stuck in the polar ice and was ultimately crushed. Shackleton and his crew were stranded on the ice for months. Showing extraordinary leadership and determination, Shackleton led his men through a difficult journey to safety.
