Sea ice is treacherous and dangerous. Ernest Shackleton, the renowned British explorer,
found out just how dangerous when his ship, the Endurance, became trapped in pack ice
at the start of the 1914 expedition to Antarctica. Over the subsequent few weeks his ship
was slowly crushed and destroyed leaving him and his crew stranded having to wait
nearly 18 months for rescue.
Today, rescue operations are less risky, but the wise mariner will always treat ice with the
