Scientists have found and filmed one of the greatest ever undiscovered shipwrecks 107 years after it sank.

The Endurance, the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found at the weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.

The ship was crushed by sea-ice and sank in 1915, forcing Shackleton and his men to make an astonishing escape on foot and in small boats.

I've been following this expedition on HistoryHT and was curious if they would air it or press release it first when/if found.

Incredible! Just took a cruise to Antarctica and can't stop reading all things Shackleton! Such an amazing discovery that it must be up there with the greatest sunken vessel finds of all time?
