Dr. John Shears, Who Led The Expedition That Found Shackleton’s Lost Ship, And Filmmaker Chai Vasarhelyi On Nat Geo Feature Documentary ‘Endurance’
Led by Dr. Shears, alongside expedition subsea manager Nico Vincent, director of exploration Mensun Bound and historian and broadcaster Dan Snow and an international team of scientists and technologists, their mission was to find the wreck of the Endurance, which had been resting at the bottom of the Weddell Sea for 107 years. “Towards the end of the expedition it’s coming into the Antarctic winter, minus 18 degrees centigrade, it’s dark outside and there’s real issue of people getting hypothermia, frostnip or frostbite, but the film team were absolutely brilliant, and you can see that in what they recorded on board.” For Dr. Shears, the story continued back on dry land where he worked with the filmmakers and editor and producer Bob Eisenhardt, who had previously teamed with Vasarhelyi and Chin on Meru, Free Solo and The Rescue.
