Watch: Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance seen as never before in detailed 3D scan

Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance has been seen as never before in a detailed 3D scan.

The wreck of the explorer’s vessel was found 3,000 metres beneath the surface of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea in 2022, more than a century after its sinking in November 1915.

Shackleton, an Anglo-Irish explorer, was leading an attempt to cross the Antarctic when his ship sank after being crushed by pack ice.

Now a new digital scan made from 25,000 separate images of Endurance has captured it in remarkable detail.

Scattered dinner plates and a missing boot can be seen on the deck amid the wreckage of collapsed masts and rigging. Researchers have even found a flare gun that was referenced in journals kept by the crew.
