HMS Endurance is the sole Ice Patrol Vessel of the Royal Navy. She spends over half of each year in the stormy seas and in the lonely places of Antarctica and the South Atlantic, and although she is a naval unit, she is unarmed and her mission is peaceful - to patrol, to survey, and to support scientific research and the global community in Antarctica.
This beautifully illustrated book shows Endurance and her crew in action, and pays tribute to their vital role in helping preserve our planet's last great untouched wilderness.
