Locating the lost ship of renowned Irish polar explorer Ernest Shackleton would be “groundbreaking for maritime archaeology”, TV historian Dan Snow has said.
An imminent expedition aims to find, survey and film the wreck of Endurance, which sank during the Kildare man’s quest to Antarctica in 1915, and now lies somewhere at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
The Endurance22 Expedition, expected to set off for Antarctica from Cape Town, South Africa, on Saturday marks one month after the 100th anniversary of Shackleton’s death.
