Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Lost Ship Endurance Has Been Found and Here's Some Cool Video Footage

The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust organized a hunt for the remains of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship Endurance, and the Endurance22 expedition actually found it earlier this week! They even released some awesome 4k video footage for you to watch.

The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust is pleased to confirm that the Endurance22 Expedition has located the wreck of Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship which has not been seen since it was crushed by the ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915. 

This Endurance22 expedition consisted of some of the world’s most renowned researchers, archaeologists, and polar scientists who sailed the Weddell Sea off Antarctica on the South African Polar Class 5 vehicle Agulhas II for 35 days.

One hundred years after Shackleton’s death, Endurance was found at a depth of 3008 metres in the Weddell Sea, within the search area defined by the expedition team before its departure from Cape Town, and approximately four miles south of the position originally recorded by Captain Worsley.

This is so cool! You can check out the video below:
