I've been wanting to do a full-crew Endurance illustration for a long time, and finally the gang's all here! 28 men, dogs and cat all accounted for, with every crew member referencing either a photo of them or a story about them. It's a little over two years since I first read Lansing's Endurance and I couldn't be happier to still be researching and drawing these guys :)

in 1915, Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition ship 'Endurance' became frozen in the Weddell Sea pack ice, she was "like an almond in a piece of toffee" wrote the ships storekeeper.

The 'Endurance' was a days sail away from her destination when the ice closed in. She had already battled through a thousand miles of pack ice over six weeks. This significantly set back Shackleton's expedition plans and ultimately lead to one of the greatest survival stories of all time. By the end of February 1915, temperatures had fallen dramatically securing the ship in the ice for the winter.

I cannot stop thinking about how the Antarctic men of the Shackleton traded things to one another and sort of created their own exchanged. The idea that these men thought of things to gift one another and created a social connection to one another by picking out their own personal belongings or rocks or items. And they gave them as gifts to one another. Effectively giving them meaning to be alive and to carry on. And then I think about items and the things the men of the Franklin Expedition probably gave one another. Clothing. Books. Cups. Tobacco. Chocolate. Things to give. Things to give. Even in the worst of it all there is something they can give. And they gave. To one another.

I'm having so much fun with this Shackleton book. they are so stupid and unprepared and arrogant and the writer does not pull any punches. there's a part where they say they're weather bound due to a 'blizzard' and the author says it was actually just a moderate breeze
