Endurance: Mission to find 100-year-old shipwreck

A team of scientists has set sail on a very special expedition to find the ship of polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton which sank in Antarctica more than a century ago.

The ship called the Endurance was trapped under ice more than a hundred ago, and now lies under around three kilometres of water.

The team will face heavy sea ice, freezing temperatures and extreme weather in the hunt for the iconic ship.
