Endurance Expedition Contributes to Modern Climatology Science
Finding the Endurance opened new opportunities for the scientific community and Antarctic researchers. Nobody knows yet how much information the ship will yield, nor what innovative ideas will snowball from its depths. Even so, after only a year (and adherence to the Antarctic Treaty), there have been significant scientific discoveries. Shackleton opened up the Antarctic, but certainly not in the way he expected to.
During the search expedition, the Endurance22 team, aboard the SA Agulhas II, was able to conduct research on climate change, ice drifts, Weddell Sea weather conditions, sea ice thickness, and map of sea ice from space. The Endurance22 team was able to create content to stream to classrooms around the world through their educational outreach program, in partnership with Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust partnered with US-based Reach the World program and the Royal Geographic Society.
