In 2022, scientists discovered the wreck of the Endurance, the long-lost ship of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, nearly 3 kilometers deep in the Weddell Sea. The vessel, which was trapped by ice in 1915 during Shackleton's ill-fated expedition, has been remarkably preserved, with its timbers intact and the name clearly visible. This finding not only fulfilled marine archaeologist Mensun Bound’s lifelong ambition but also reignited interest in one of history's greatest survival stories.
