Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Okay, so my husband and I watched this documentary a few nights ago.

On National Geographic, I'm pretty sure it was.

And the documentary is called Endurance. And it's all about this.

I mean, it's called the greatest survival story of all time. I'm going to read a tiny bit about it here,

Sir Ernest Shackleton kept his crew of 27 men alive for over a year despite the loss of

their ship in frigid pack ice.

Over a century later, a team of modern day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship.

And oh boy, is it fascinating.

I was like, gosh, why have I never heard of this ship?

But it was in 1914,

a group of explorers went to essentially the South Pole. And I mean, this is when, you know,

it was like a wooden ship. It wasn't the technology that we have now and the resources that,

you know, the 100 years of evolution with maritime,

like with shipping, I mean, wow, what they, what they went to that very frigid part of the earth

with was, I mean, by modern day standards, incredible.

So this, the captain, Sir Ernest Shackleton, took his crew, 27 men as an explorer to the South Pole.

Now, it was so cold when they got there that the ship froze, right?

The ice just surrounded it and it couldn't move.

Initially, they kind of parked there, hoping that the seas would open up, but the ice would melt
