		jdshaffer 6 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Real Reason Endurance Sank Interesting article, though I wonder why they didn't mention the Fram -- Nansen's ship that WAS designed to resist the crushing ice, and DID survive a trip across the northern seas purposely trapped in the crushing ice (but just missing the north pole)... If my memory serves, Shackleton knew about Nansen, and even talk with him before his (Shackleton's) expedition. shrug

You can visit the Fram in Oslo [1]. It's a fascinating museum.
