The Ship the Ice Refused to Keep

In January of 1915 the Endurance was frozen into the pack ice of the Weddell Sea, within sight of a continent she never reached. Nine months later the ice crushed her and she went to the bottom, leaving twenty-eight men standing on a drifting sheet of frozen sea, three hundred and fifty miles from the nearest land, which was uninhabited. No radio could reach anyone. Nobody knew where they were. There was no search to suspend, because there was nowhere to begin. They came home because one of them got into a twenty-two-foot boat and went to find help himself. This episode also covers the Ross Sea party — the other half of this expedition, stranded on the far side of the continent, and the three men who died there, who are almost never mentioned in the retelling.
