on end
I'm on a tiny boat with two friends and we're sailing from San Francico to the Hawaiian Islands and we haven't seen another sign of human life for over a week. There is nothing but ocean and sky. Then we start seeing it: tiny, coin-sized chunks of plastic floating on the ocean surface all around the boat. For days on end, the plastic does not stop.

Q) What's the function of "on" in front of "end?" Is that part a set phrase of something?
