In 1914, an explorer named Ernest Shackleton led a crew of 27 on an expedition to travel by ship to Antarctica and then become the first to cross the continent on foot.
Their ship, The Endurance, was caught by advancing ice. What happened after that was a remarkable story of survival. It took nearly two years, but Shackleton got all his men back safely. The story is told in a new film called "The Endurance", directed and produced by Holderness resident George Butler.
