A situation we have never encountered
Which are correct:
1) We were stranded on a desert island without any means to communicate with the outside world, a situation we have fortunately never encountered again.
2) We were stranded on a desert island without any means to communicate with the outside world, which is a situation we have fortunately never encountered again.
3) We were stranded on a desert island without any means to communicate with the outside world, and that is a situation we have fortunately never encountered again.
If '1' is correct, is it correctly punctuated?
Should one, or could one, replace 'is' with 'was' in '2' and '3'?
Gratefully,
Navi.
