Experts have announced that they’ve found the wreckage of Endurance, the ship once used by legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, more than a century after it was lost in the waters of Antarctica.
Scientists taking part in the Endurance22 expedition, which aimed to rediscover the lost ship 107 years after it sank, confirmed that they’d succeeded in tracking it down. People have puzzled over the exact whereabouts of the wreck for decades.
Dr John Shears, who led Endurance22, said the discovery was testament to “what human beings can achieve and the obstacles they can overcome when they work together”. But who exactly was Ernest Shackleton?
