As part of a course in the eScience Centre's teaching programme, a group of students tried to make this journey an interactive experience. In doing so, they were guided primarily by Shackleton's descriptions of the expedition in his book South. The route of the expedition is illustrated by prominent waypoints; the photographs by F. Hurley, which are also published in the book, serve as visual material. The tool used was Neatline (http://neatline.org/), an open source project that has already been adapted and extended for the Julius Euting project of the eScience Centre.
In the version now available, you can follow the path of the Endurance via prominent waypoints and events, and learn a lot about the crew, life on board and the hardships the expedition faced through selected annotations.
Participants in the project were: Dr Dieta Svoboda, Kevin Körner and Fabian Schwabe (lecturers) and Daniela Amodio, Karin Bihler, Verena Keite, Michael Lauenstein, Timo Stösser (course participants).
