FINDING THE ENDURANCE
n the fall of 1915, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton ship Endurance sank off the coast of Antarctica, stranding its crew on drifting sea ice and setting in motion one of history’s most dramatic tales of overcoming seemingly hopeless odds. While all of the expedition’s 28 crew eventually were rescued, the ship’s final resting place has remained a muchdiscussed maritime mystery—the unwritten last chapter in a legendary story of survival and triumph. That is, until today. Other features in this issue include:
• The Yunnan Province’s community spiritual life around their revered Tea Ancestor and the China tea forests
• A story about New Zealand’s attempt to reset its unique ecosystem
• An expedition to discover what’s inside the most northern-known caves in Greenland
