Ernest Shackleton‘s legendary lost ship Endurance, which sank in 1915 in Antarctica, has been discovered 10,000 feet deep at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
The ship, which sank under pack ice as Shackleton attempted to cross the Antarctic continent, was discovered sometime last week upright on the ocean floor by the Endurance22 expedition, which began its search last month. The project used submersible vehicles that captured ghostly footage showing rope draped across the deck, the ship’s wheel, and the brass nameplate ‘Endurance’ on the stern.
