Antarctic Weddell expedition targets Shackleton's lost ship

Its regular duties are to resupply and support the South African National Antarctic Expedition (SANAE IV) base in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, as well as the country's sub-antarctic research stations at Marion and Prince Edward Islands.

While searching for the Endurance is the headline-grabbing (and undoubtedly interesting) part of this expedition, its real purpose is to study the Larsen C ice shelf and the conditions that led to the creation of the massive 5,800 Iceberg A-68 in 2017. Understanding how and why that happened will improve climate models of the Antarctic region and provide better predictions about the impact of climate change.

It's a really difficult expedition though, with only a slim chance of success because of the area's conditions.

Shackleton's Endurance story is amazing, and don't miss out on the Ross Sea Party's part. The goal of the overall expedition was to cross the continent; Shackleton's party would make a series of depots to Pole, while the Ross Sea party was laying them from the other side so Shackleton could traverse the continent. Shackleton famously lost Endurance though, so never came over land. Meanwhile, the Ross Sea party lost their ship too, and still managed to lay a series of depots.
