Believe It Or Not: These Natural Photos Are Completely Real

The Endurance Ship

This old photo shows the Endurance, a ship that got trapped in ice during a 1914 trip to Antarctica. The ship was incapable of moving, and the crew thought they would eventually be released by the thaw when spring came.

Instead, the weather change caused the ice to exert so much pressure that the ice cracked the hull, prompting the ship to sink into the water. Forced to abandon the ship, they made their way to Elephant Island. Most of the sailors waited there while some comrades left for South Georgia Island to call to rescue them.
