Endurance ship found in Antarctica
Information.. In 2022, scientists found one of the greatest undiscovered shipwrecks ever, 107 years after it sank.
The missing ship of Antarctica explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton was found at the weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
The ship was crushed by ice and sank in 1915, forcing Shackleton and his men to escape on foot and in small boats.
Video of the remains shows the ship's durability to be in great condition.
Although it has been sitting 3 km (10,000 ft) in the water for more than a century, it looks exactly as it did on the day it sank.
Its timbers, though submerged in water, are still together, and the name - Endurance - is clearly visible on the stern.
The ship looks much as Shackleton's filmmaker, Frank Hurley, last photographed it in 1915: the masts are broken, and the sail lines are tangled, but the hull is in good condition, with some damage visible at the bow, where it was supposed to be. The ship hit the seabed as it sank, anchors are present, and submariners have even spotted some shoes and pottery.
"You can even see the name of the ship - ENDURANCE - on the stern of the ship just below the deck railing (a wooden barrier around the deck area), and underneath it is the Polaris - the five-pointed star - which was how the ship was originally named," Munson Pound told the BBC.
