A film shot in 1915 during the Antarctic adventure of Endurance and her crew.
For ten months they drifted, trapped in the southern ice.
Finally, the ship was crushed and sank - in front of one of the earliest expedition cameras. The crew's final escape, many months later, is one of the greatest stories of seamanship and courage. Producer RICHARD ROBINSON Series editor TIM SLESSOR (R) revised
