“It is the most beautiful sunken ship I have ever seen: it stands upright, proud at the bottom of the sea, intact, in a fantastic state of preservation”, the explorer said.

‘You can even read the name’Endurance‘ at the stern”, he claimed.

The search expedition, organized by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust, included around 100 people and set sail from South Africa on February 5 in the hope of finding these remains.

More than a century ago, Shackleton wanted to cross Antarctica, in a journey of 2,900 kilometers through the frozen continent, from the Weddell Sea to the Roos Sea, passing through the South Pole.

But in January 1915, the ship became trapped in pack ice in the Weddell Sea. The ship remained stranded for months and eventually was perforated by ice and sank.

The expedition then became a survival mission for the crew, who camped for months and finally took refuge on the inhospitable Elephant Island.

Shackleton went in search of help with some companions in a precarious boat to the South Georgia Islands, in the South Atlantic, returned and managed to rescue the entire crew alive. His journey is remembered to this day as a heroic journey.

In 2022, the expedition that found the remains of the Endurance used state-of-the-art technology, such as underwater drones, to explore this area, described by Shackleton himself as the “worst part of the worst sea in the world”.
