She became trapped in pack ice and finally sank in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica on 21 November 1915. All of the crew survived her sinking and was eventually rescued in 1916.

The wreck of Endurance was discovered on 3/5/2022 by the search team Endurance22. It lies 3,008 m (9,869 ft) deep, and is in good condition. It is designated as a protected historic site and monument under the Antarctic Treaty System.
