Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship found a century later, 10,000 feet under the Antarctic ice
The expedition set off from Cape Town, South Africa, in February to mark the 100th anniversary of Shackleton’s death. The team’s goal was to find the wreck, using drones and specialist equipment including submarines, helicopters and robots.Team members said they based their search on the last known position of the ship, as recorded in 1915 by the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley.
Footage taken at the scene showed the paint is still visible, along with the ship’s name “ENDURANCE” above a star on the hull. The stern, wheel, bow and deck were also visible. Shackleton himself described the location as “the worst portion of the worst sea in the world,” the Guardian reported.
