00:00We're ready.
00:01Yes.
00:02OK.
00:03Let's find the endurance.
00:04We're still talking about Shackleton because this is the greatest tale of survival in history.
00:11And it's a story about failure.
00:14Success awaits.
00:15Dive one.
00:16Let's go.
00:17In 1914, Shackleton was convinced the greatest Antarctic journey was yet to be done, crossing
00:21the Antarctic continent from one side to the other.
00:24So he dragged his men on a doomed quest.
00:28We tried once before in 2019 to search for the endurance.
00:33It felt like my whole life had been converging upon that moment, and then it all went wrong.
00:38Imagine being here in a little wooden boat, no GPS, no nothing.
00:44And then the leader says, oh, by the way, boys, we're stuck, and we're going to spend
00:47the winter here.
00:49We watched the death of the ship.
00:53Shackleton said to the men, she's gone, boys.
00:57From that moment on, he's laser focused on getting those men home.
01:01Now we are stuck on ice and losing time.
01:04Patient.
01:05How can we be something that is part of the story of Shackleton and Renonce?
01:10We're not finding anything at all, and temperatures are going to go off a cliff, and we'll have
01:15to call the search off.
01:17As long as we can come out of this predicament with our lives, we shall not crumble.
01:23Why we go, I cannot say.
01:25Today's the day.
01:27What the impelling force is that makes explorers, I cannot describe.
01:31Come on, boys.
01:32And as long as there is any mystery on this globe, it is not only man's right.
01:36Oh, my gosh.
01:37Look at that.
01:38But his duty to try to unravel it.
