- Comment: This article is very close to being accepted, but in it's current form the sources do not clearly align with the content. Looking at the edit history, it seems like some sources were just implemented randomly - While they do help show that the book meets our general notability guideline, the content of the article needs to clearly align with the sources. For example, the claim about the project starting in South Kensington is not supported by either of the two sources in that section. Neither is the quote from Shackleton about it being the "worst portion of the worst sea on earth." That quote is supported by the Guardian article, but that citation is in a different section.I recommend that you rework the article content slightly to focus more on the book itself and less on the project. There is a helpful template from Wikiproject Books available here that might help guide that. Generally, a book article is going to be split between three sections: the synopsis, the development/publication history, and the reception. The sourcing for this article is all there, it's just a bit disorganized in the article's current form! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 19:09, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The WashPo book review is good. We need another source like that - these other ones appear to be talking about the discovery of the ship, not the book about the discovery of the ship. asilvering (talk) 21:45, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton’s Endurance is a 2022 book written by Falklands-born marine archaeologist Mensun Bound.
The book chronicles Bound’s quest to find the wreck of the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, which succumbed to the ice of Antarctica in 1915.[1]
The project to find the so-called ‘unreachable’ Endurance began in a South Kensington coffee bar in August 2012. Ten years later, in March 2022, she was found 3,000 meters beneath the perennial ice of the Weddell Sea[2]or, what Shackleton called ‘the worst portion of the worst sea on earth.’[3]
She was in an excellent state of preservation, her name still emblazoned upon the ship’s stern.[4]
The book recounts both the expeditions to find the Endurance. Mensun Bound was the Director of Exploration on both expeditions. Bound used details from the diaries of Shackleton’s men in order to reconstruct the exact whereabouts of the ship under the ice.[5]
- The first search, under the auspices of the Flotilla Foundation, entitled the Weddell Sea Expedition, took place in 2019. The objectives of this campaign were mainly scientific. Although ending in failure, with Bound very nearly finding his own vessel frozen in ice,[6] the lessons learned proved invaluable for the success of the second.[7] - The second search, under the auspices of the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust, took place in 2022 and was called Endurance22.[8] The aims of this campaign were primarily archaeological and historical. People around the world were able to follow the progress of Endurance22 through the daily broadcasts of historian and television presenter Dan Snow.[9] [10]In a remarkable coincidence, the Endurance was finally found a century to the day after Shackleton’s burial.[11] [12]
Each chapter of the book features a day-by-day recount, similar to a diary. Weaving together his voyages with Shackleton’s, Bound’s book also includes stories of Shackleton and his crew. Similarly, alongside photographs from the wreck itself, the book features a selection of Frank Hurley’s photos from Shackleton’s original voyage in 1914-17.
