Explorer Ernest Shackleton and his 27 men began one of the most extreme survival attempts in history, to explore part of the Antarctic.
Since he led all the members of his crew to safety, there has been no sign of the wooden ship.
The Antarctic Weddell Sea Expedition, organized by the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) and funded by a Netherlands-based charitable trust, the Flotilla Foundation, is scheduled to take place from January to February 2019.
