Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance FOUND off Antarctica coast after more than 100 years

The wreck of Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance has been found off the coast of Antarctica.

The ship had not been seen since it was crushed by ice and sank in the Weddell Sea in 1915, and last month the Endurance22 Expedition set off from Cape Town, South Africa, a month after the 100th anniversary of Sir Ernest's death on a mission to locate it.

Sir Ernest and his crew set out to achieve the first land crossing of Antarctica but Endurance did not reach land and became trapped in dense pack ice, forcing the 28 men on board to eventually abandon ship.
