		Physical endurance is differentiated from other forms of physical stress in that in endurance exercise fatigue of the muscles and cardiovascular system do not force the effort to end.
		Endurance racing is a test of the durability of equipment used to race, and to a lesser extent, the drivers as well.
		At one time driver endurance was a huge factor in that persons would attempt to complete a twenty-four hour race by themselves, and for many years the standard driving team was two drivers; in modern times solo driving is not permitted and the standard team for a twenty-four hour race consists of three drivers.

		Every year HMS ENDURANCE makes an important contribution to the safety of seafarers and other visitors who come in ships and yachts to the waters of South Georgia.

		As part of her normal peacetime business, Endurance has provided stores for outstations and scientific bases, has flown patients from these communities to the hospital in Stanley, has assisted with repairs and maintenance of houses, schools and recreational facilities, and has supported the farming community in a number of practical ways.

	Falkland Islands - A history of the 1982 conflict
		Endurance was up against a variety of ships, some known to be armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles, as well as a submarine threat of unknown quantity or quality, and this is where the resourceful Captain Barker really came into his own as a force.
