Their daily lives were recorded by Australian photographer Frank Hurley. Hurley's images show how the crew survived during that uncertain period - when they were at the whim of the shifting pack ice.

The photograph below shows a football match on the ice. taken in mid-February 1915, after the men had tried to release Endurance for one last time, but then had to accept they were stuck - with the cold and dark Antarctic winter approaching.

"Shackleton saw the match as a good way to let off steam. They had even flattened the ice to create a pitch."
