The ship of Anglo-Irish explorer and World War I veteran Ernest Shackleton has been found in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica — more than 100 years after it was lost — by a team of marine archeologists and scientists.
Shackleton’s ship, called the Endurance, was well preserved by the frigid waters and its name could still be seen on the side, long after it was encased by ice in 1915. Expedition leader John Shears said that he believed his team had “made polar history” after finishing “the world’s most challenging shipwreck search.”
