William Grill has created a fitting memorial to Sir Ernest Shackleton's ill-fated attempt to cross Antarctica in 1914-1916. His colored pencil drawings are a bold visual narrative of the preparation and challenges faced by the crew of the Endurance, who persevered despite the harsh climate and their well-designed Norwegian ship being crushed by the polar ice in which it got trapped. Miraculously, nobody perished on this bold adventure.
