The Legendary Endurance Expedition
The Endurance expedition (1914-1917) is one of the most famous survival stories in history. Shackleton and his crew set out to be the first to cross Antarctica from coast to coast, but things took a dramatic turn when their ship, the Endurance, got trapped in the thick ice of the Weddell Sea. Eventually, the ship was crushed and sank, leaving the crew stranded in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth.
Despite the challenges, Shackleton’s leadership kept the crew alive for 22 months until they were finally rescued. This incredible feat of survival is now captured in the detailed LEGO Icons set, which allows builders to recreate a part of this remarkable story.
An Engaging Build for History Lovers
LEGO Icons 10335 The Endurance Ship offers an engaging build, particularly for adult LEGO enthusiasts and history fans. With a total of 3,011 pieces and a price tag of $259.99, it averages about 8.6 cents per piece, making it a good value for such a large, intricate set.
LEGO hasn’t revealed whether the set will include minifigures, but with a historical theme like this, fans are eagerly speculating about the possibility of minifigures representing Shackleton and his crew. If included, these would be a wonderful addition to the storytelling aspect of the set.
