The '''[[Bennett Nunataks]]''' are two rock [[nunatak]]s 0.5 nautical miles (1 km) apart, lying 0.5 nautical miles north of Lackey Ridge in the [[Ohio Range]] of the [[Horlick Mountains]].
'''''Endurance''''' was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir [[Ernest Shackleton]] sailed for [[Antarctica]] on the 1914 [[Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition]]. She was launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway and was crushed by [[ice]], causing her to sink three years later in the [[Weddell Sea]] off Antarctica.


The nunataks were surveyed by the United States [[Antarctic]] Research Program Horlick Mountains Traverse party in December 1958. The Bennett Nunataks were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John B. Bennett, a geomagnetist-seismologist at [[Byrd Station]] in 1960.
The name "Endurance" has been assigned to [[Westarctica]]'s training simulator, WS ''Endurance'' which is used by the Naval Detachment of the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] to simulate space warfare with the militaries of allied [[micronation]]s.
