The wreckage of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship “Endurance” has been found, a team searching for it said on Wednesday, March 9.
The ship was crushed by Antarctic ice and sank some 10,000 feet to the ocean floor more than a century ago.
The three-masted sailing ship was lost in November 1915 during Shackleton’s failed attempt to make the first land crossing of Antarctica.
Previous attempts to locate the wooden wreck had failed due to the hostile conditions of the ice-covered Weddell Sea under which it lies.
