1915 was the last time anyone saw Endurance, the ship that famed explorer Ernest Shackleton took to Antarctica, where he and his crew almost died.
However, next January and February, scientists on a research trip to study the ice in the area where the ship sank are hoping to find it. Finding the ancient, broken wreck will require new technology, century-old notes and a lot of luck.
We talked to the scientists hoping to find the ship as well as Shackleton’s own granddaughter to explain the expedition—and why they want to find Endurance.

“All American fiction is young-adult fiction … to be an American adult has always been to be a symbolic figure in someone else’s coming-of-age story. And that’s no way to live. It is a kind of moral death in a culture that claims youthful self-invention as the greatest value. We can now avoid this fate. The elevation of every individual’s inarguable likes and dislikes over formal critical discourse, the unassailable ascendancy of the fan, has made children of us all. We have our favorite toys, books, movies, video games, songs, and we are as apt to turn to them for comfort as for challenge or enlightenment.”

"I used to think that the ability to turn back time would be the greatest possible gift, so that I could undo all the things I wish I hadn’t done. But grace is an even better gift, because it allows me to do more than just erase; it allows me to become more than I was when I did those things. It’s forgiveness without forgetting, which is much sweeter than amnesia."
