Endurance Becoming 'Locked in Ice' - Ernest Shackleton

Commemorating the dramatic moment in Antarctic exploration, this 100th Anniversary cover marks the fate of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, as it became trapped in the Weddell Sea ice. Featuring a striking image of Endurance, the cover has a Shackleton Court, Plymouth postmark 19.01.2015 —a fitting tribute to the legendary explorer. It is further enhanced with a South Georgia stamp and an exclusive special Weddell Sea cachet, connecting it to the remote island where Shackleton found refuge after his extraordinary survival journey.
