Where to Listen to Documentaries about Ernest Shackleton and Endurance

The expedition has begun and Dan is here to answer your questions about all things Endurance22.

Icebergs, albatrosses and growlers- the team have crossed the Antarctic circle!

Dan takes the podcast out onto the Antarctic ice to find penguins, seals and the expedition scientists conducting experiments. He joins Dr Stefanie Arndt of the Alfred Wegener Institute as she researches climate change in the Weddell Sea’s ice. Dan catches her just as she discovers some tiny and very rare snow crystals and her enthusiasm is infectious.

The search for the wreck of the sunken Endurance is well underway. Find out more about the submersibles, equipped with 4k cameras that can scan the seafloor hundreds of metres into the darkness and hear from the stellar crew and ice pilots who are responsible for keeping everyone on board safe in the Weddell Sea ice.

Ernest Shackleton’s famous shipwreck the Endurance has been found! This is the exclusive behind the scenes story of how the international crew of the Endurance22 expedition made the discovery of a lifetime.

The extraordinary story of Shackleton’s doomed Trans-Antarctic expedition has captured audiences for over 100 years. It’s not just because it’s a dramatic tale of survival, but because there’s visual evidence of it. Some of the greatest moments of history in the last century are etched into our minds because someone was there with a camera; for Shackleton’s expedition, it was the tough and tenacious Australian photographer Frank Hurley. His photographs and footage became world-famous on the crew’s return to England when they were turned into a remarkable feature-length film. ‘South’ told the story of the destruction of the Endurance and the survival of the men on the ice without a ship.

To mark the end of a truly epic journey, Dan wanted to hear from you -the listeners- those that have dedicatedly followed the story of Endurance22. Find out the answers to your questions as Dan responds candidly to the things that you all wanted to know.

In late 1914, the charismatic and brilliant explorer Ernest Shackleton led 27 men on a voyage to cross Antarctica from one side to the other. But what should have been a successful expedition turned into a two-year nightmare of hardship and catastrophe when their vessel the Endurance was crushed in the Weddell Sea pack-ice and sunk. Stranded with no ship, no contact with the outside world and limited supplies, it would be up to the men to find their own way back to civilisation. This series Dan talks through the ultimate A Story of Antarctic Survival.
