Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition to Antarctica is one of the greatest stories of leadership and extreme endurance in history. After his ship sinks, Shackleton leads 27 men on an epic struggle of survival. Shackleton's battle against the odds and his unfailing commitment to bring all his men out alive turns Shackleton into a legend that still inspires today. Now, History follows a new ground-breaking expedition heading back into the frozen seas to hunt down the last piece of the story - Shackleton's lost ship. The Endurance is as illustrious as the Titanic, yet it's remained lost for over a hundred years. Its final resting ground is one of the greatest polar mysteries. Can the team of explorers and experts now break through the ice? Reach the wreck site? And be the first ever to locate and survey the wreck? A century on it's a mission fraught with the same dangers Shackleton faced. The site is so remote and the freezing conditions so brutal that no mission before has even tried to hunt the wreck. But now, the new team finally have the technology and the tools to beat Mother Nature. Armed with a 14000 ton ice-breaker and millions of dollars of technology, they plan to send cutting-edge underwater robots 10,000ft below the ice. But it's not going to be easy. To find the missing ship they'll face the dangers of giant icebergs, extreme depth and bitter cold.
