Meet S.A. Agulhas II Chief Steward, Adrian Morgan! Adrian has worked on this ship for more than three years, and he shares here his daily routine, home life in Cape Town, and adventures at sea.
Water is essential to life, and we use as much as 30,000 liters (8,000 gallons) of fresh water for drinking, showering, laundry, and cooking every day on the ship. Where does it come from?
Sir Ernest Shackleton wrote these words as he watched Endurance get swallowed by pack ice in 1915. 107 years later, it is still the ice that makes the rules in the Weddell Sea.
What appears to be a vast, empty Weddell Sea landscape is in fact absolutely teeming with life. Let’s meet the penguins, seals, whales and birds that thrive in this harsh environment.
We have arrived at the sinking location of the Endurance. I would like to reflect on what it's like to be here and what it must have been like for the original Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
This important Antarctic expedition has many jobs that keep the ship running. Let's learn how the crew of the Agulhas II work together to make this expedition a success.
Days on a ship are structured around mealtimes. Let's looks at how the S.A. Agulhas II's galley (kitchen) feeds over 100 people three times a day, plus I'll sample a delicious South African snack.
The Endurance22 Expedition team has settled into a bit of a routine as we steam across the ocean towards the Weddell Sea. Climb aboard and experience a typical week aboard the S.A. Agulhas II.
Classrooms in the U.S., Canada and England are partnering with classrooms in South Africa and Namibia to adopt and name the high-tech Argo ocean monitoring floats that we're deploying from the ship.
Of all the living things that live in and around the vast ocean, there's one, very large type of bird that has a special place in sailors' hearts. Let's examine the legend of the mystical albatross.
