After reuniting at Elephant Island, they establish a camp there but realize it is too small for them all so some move elsewhere while others stay behind. In spring 1918, Shackleton directs his crew into three small open wooden boats after a perilous series of misadventures with the floe. As a result, Shackleton’s men have to evacuate on emergency basis several times because deep crevices form in the floe they’re camping on. It also causes cracking and deterioration of the floes, which are large pieces of floating ice that form in Arctic waters. The warming sea temperatures cause the pack ice to break up. However, the crew remained optimistic throughout their ordeal they ate penguins and seals for food and killed some of their dogs for food as well. Eventually they decided that travelling by sea floe would be easier, but wind and weather conditions were unpredictable. They had to chop through pressure ridges with axes in order to move forward. The men tried to travel by dog sled on the ice pack, but it was too slow and difficult. After abandoning the Endurance, Shackleton establishes camps on various ice floes, moving tents, sledge dogs and food stores accordingly. His ship is battered by enormous ice floes on a consistent basis and ultimately sinks in November 1915. However, despite warnings from experienced whalers that he should not attempt to cross the Weddell Sea (due to its unreliability), he proceeds with his plan. He purchased a sturdy wooden boat designed for hunting polar bears and changed the name of it to ‘Endurance’. In 1914, Ernest Shackleton sets out to explore Antarctica.
