Shackleton’s Endurance Discovered in the Icy Waters of Antarctica
The Endurance22 expedition has found, filmed and documented the wreck of Ernest Shackleton’s lost ice ship, Endurance, in Antarctica’s Weddell Sea.
Ernest Shackleton’s lost ice ship, Endurance, has been discovered in the waters of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. Endurance was crushed and sunk by pack ice in 1915, during Shackleton’s failed attempt to cross the Antarctic continent, and remained lost to the depths for more than a century.
Now, the wreck has been found, filmed and surveyed by members of the Endurance22 expedition, which set out in search of the shipwreck in February 2022. After weeks of surveying the seabed, the shipwreck was located in early March 2022, 100 years after Shackleton died in 1922.
