The account of endurance by Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew during their 138 day survival and heroic exploits in the Weddell Sea is one of the greatest narratives ever told. To honor this legacy, Silversea Cruises is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 1914 Endurance expedition on Silver Explorer’s cruise to the Polar Regions.
Embark on Silver Explorer’s voyage to Antarctica and retrace Shackleton’s journey with a gallery of iconic images from the sinking ship and videos from the official photographer, Frank Hurley, who captured and documented the team’s struggles and triumphs in powerful visuals. There will be no shortage of historians on-board to recount the inspirational story through years of research on the exploration.
