Endurance and Aulus: A Journey Through Time

Historian Dan Snow narrates the story of the ship Endurance, which sank over 100 years ago. The modern ship Aulus, three times the size of Endurance, was sent to find its wreck. Endurance was a marvel of engineering with a reinforced wooden hull and a powerful steam engine. Despite its strength, it was crushed by ice. In 2022, Aulus, equipped with advanced subsea drones, successfully located the wreck, showcasing the evolution of polar vessels and breaking several world records. The discovery is now featured on Disney Plus.
