How Weather Works

The weather is an important part of our daily routine. Why? Because depending on the type of weather we think we are going to get, we make decisions. For example, the weather is the reason why we put sunglasses on or why we choose a particular holiday destination. But understanding about the weather is very important for people such as the crew of HMS Endurance because knowing what the weather is going to do in extreme places such as Antarctica, can be a matter of life or death.
