WHY IS THE DISCOVERY OF ENDURANCE SCIENTIFICALLY IMPORTANT?
Lasse Rabenstein: If I’m honest, when I first heard about this expedition, I asked that exact question. We knew a lot about the ship already from the history books. But getting scientific instruments to the Weddell Sea is a rare opportunity, as there aren’t many icebreaker ships in the southern hemisphere that can make it into the ice. It is no coincidence that Shackleton’s expedition got stopped in the Weddell Sea, as it has really heavy ice conditions. Therefore, every chance to get in-situ data samples from the Weddell Sea should be taken.
