Endurance is discovered at the bottom of Antarctica's Weddell Sea, 107 years after it sank – and it's still in remarkable condition​

• Endurance has been found 107 years after it became trapped in sea ice and sank off the coast of Antarctica
• Sir Ernest Shackleton's wooden ship had not been seen since it sank in Weddell Sea, Southern Ocean in 1915
• The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust said Endurance was discovered at a depth of 9,868 feet (3,008 metres)
• Shackleton planned the first land crossing of Antarctica from Weddell Sea via the South Pole to the Ross Sea
• Remarkable footage of the wreck shows it has been astonishingly preserved, with the ship's wheel still intact
• The Antarctic circumpolar current has acted as barrier to the larvae that could have degraded the ship's wood

I saw this. Pretty amazing.
I found it interesting they dont plan to disturb the ship. Seems like they will just let it stay there?

Probable one of the most amazing survival stories ever - what he and the crew did from making it to Elephant Island and then in an open lifeboat to South Georgia Island and then having to traverse over a mountain to the whaling station and them back to Elephant Island to get the rest of the crew and the ALL survived - incredible story.

Shackleton was the opposite of a snowflake - pretty much one of the most mentally tough people who have walked the earth.

Hence the term "Shack Attack"!!!

But there were plenty of snowflakes all around him! 😂

I'm just amazed that the wood on that ship (there appears to be a fair amount of wood) has survived the kind of pressure that applies at that depth. You'd have thought the wood would have been crushed and deformed.
