Imaginable Impediment

Just after 2 days since the voyage started from South Georgia Island, the Endurance met with an unforeseen obstacle. The crew had already assumed the water to have cleared up enough for the sail to proceed towards the south but they quickly encountered a dangerously dense block of floating ice merging together. These are also known as pack ice.

Land Ho!

After sailing through thousands of miles crossing the icy polar seas, the Endurance had been traveling for about two months now. The Endurance had managed to reach about 100 miles nearing the Antarctic coast. It was going to take just about one day to reach their destination. So obviously the anticipation was almost tangible because it had been a long journey.
