Summary edit

Description
English: HMS Endurance, an Antarctic Patrol Ship, is shown patrolling off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsular, with a colony of Gentoo Penguins and their young in the foreground.

HMS Endurance is the Royal Navy’s Ice Patrol ship whose function is to support British interests in Antarctic waters, especially around the Antarctic Peninsula. In addition, she assists the British Antarctic Survey in carrying out its scientific research programs. She is fitted with modern hydrographic surveying equipment, which is put to good effect in waters, which are still largely uncharted, and the data that are gathered are processed by the Hydrographic Office at Taunton and drawn into charts that are used by mariners around the world.
