As the pandemic gave urgency to bucket-list trips, one family seized the chance to check off their dream destination, Antarctica, never mind the hurdles
, Sir Ernest Shackleton, an Anglo-Irish polar explorer, set sail for Antarctica aboard a 144-foot, three-masted wooden schooner named Endurance. His objective: Complete the first crossing of the Antarctic continent. But Shackleton and his crew became ensnared in pack ice about 100 miles from their intended destination and were stranded for more than a year. Forced to rely on the likes of seal-backbone soup and penguin meat for sustenance, the expedition party was finally rescued in August 1916.
On Dec. 19, 2021, I set out on my own Antarctic journey aboard the Endurance. Not the original one—she’s at the bottom of the Weddell Sea and researchers are actually hunting for her right now. I sailed aboard the National Geographic Endurance, one of the newest members of the luxury adventure cruise company Lindblad Expeditions’ fleet.
