This month, 107 years after it's sinking, one of the world's most famous shipwrecks - Endurance - was found at the bottom of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica.

Endurance had left South Georgia for Antarctica on December 5, 1914, carrying 27 men (plus one stowaway, who became ship’s steward), 69 dogs, and a tomcat nicknamed Mrs. Chippy. The goal of the expedition leader Ernest Shackleton, who had twice fallen short—once agonizingly so—of reaching the South Pole, was to establish a base on Antarctica’s Weddell Sea coast.

From there, Shackleton was going to traverse the continent on foot. Almost immediately though, the crew ran into pack ice, and from that point on a heroic effort would ensue to keep the crew alive.
