On that day, Shackleton made the decision to abandon it. By November 21, the <em>Endurance<\/em> finally sank to its watery grave in the Weddell Sea.<\/p>\n<h2>Shackleton&#8217;s great escape<\/h2>\n<p>After its sinking, there ensued one of the great survival stories in exploration history. In three lifeboats, all 28 crewmen traveled across sea ice and open water to Elephant Island. From there, Shackleton and a select team of five sailed 1,250km across the stormiest seas on earth in an open boat to little South Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>Shackleton then somehow traversed the mountainous island to the far side, where a whaling station provided help. Even today, that wild alpine crossing impresses the few mountaineers who have managed to duplicate it. Shackleton&#8217;s remaining expedition members were rescued from Elephant Island on August 30, 1916.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/https_www.nationalgeographic.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalgeographic.com%2Fmagazine%2Farticle%2Fendurance-shackleton-ship-found-off-antarctic-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Geographic<\/a> broke the news of\u00a0<em>Endurance&#8217;<\/em>s recovery.

They found the ship in just eight metres of water, exactly where they expected it to be, in Mercy Bay off northern Banks Island.<\/p>\n<h2>Undiscovered but in known locations<\/h2>\n<p>Some still-undiscovered polar ships are just waiting for a research crew like the one that found the <em>Endurance<\/em> or even a passing cruise ship with its side-scan sonar switched on at the right time.<\/p>\n<p>In 1883, the <em>Proteus<\/em> sailed northern Baffin Bay, between Canada and Greenland, to pick up the U.S. Arctic Expedition under Adolphus Greely. Greely&#8217;s men had been stationed on northern Ellesmere Island for two years, exploring and doing science for the First International Polar Year. Unlike almost every other polar expedition, they didn&#8217;t have their own ship. The <em>Proteus<\/em> had dropped them off two years earlier with a promise to return.<\/p>\n<p>But 1883 was a bad ice year, and the <em>Proteus<\/em> couldn&#8217;t get within 300km of Greely&#8217;s men. Trapped in the ice, amid strong currents, ice floes crushed the <em>Proteus<\/em> like a walnut. The crew escaped in lifeboats, but Greely&#8217;s men were stranded, and 19 of 25 died in the aftermath, mostly from starvation. The spot where the Proteus went down is well-known &#8212; just remote. And it lies 350m down, so like the <em>Endurance<\/em>, it should be well-preserved.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>USS Bear<\/em>, one of the ships that later saved the few Greely survivors, was found last year off the coast of Massachusetts.
