Scientist has come up with one of the greatest discovery and incredible achievement by being able to find the epic shipwrecks that disappeared 107 years ago.
The lost vessel of the Antarctic explorer, the Endurance was discovered by a team of scientists from the bottom of the Weddel Sea off Antarctica at the depth of 3,008 metre.
The scientist also filmed the discovery in the depth of the sea showing the condition of the old voyage that is luckily found near Antarctica peninsula after more than a century.
The ship of Anglo-Irish Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton was one of a kind with three-masted barquentine launched in 1912 by sailing from Sandefjord, Norway.
In the year 1915, the Endurance lost when Sir Ernest Shackleton along with 27 members sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914–1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
The ship was hit by a sea-ice and then sank following which Shackleton and crew had to abandon the ship and escape in boats and on foot to save their life.
On Saturday 5 March, the 100th anniversary of Shackleton's funeral the marine scientist got to know about the wreck site after 2 weeks of investigations.
The video of the remains of Endurance shows the ship in an outstanding condition though it has reached 10,000 feet of the water.
Marine archeologist Mensun Bound said that this was the finest wooden shipwreck he had ever seen in his life. Bound is on the discovery expedition and with this discovery of Endurance, he has fulfilled a dream goal in 50 years of his career.
The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust (FMHT) has initiated the mission to discover the lost ship in Antarctica with the use of a South African icebreaker.
Dr. John Shears, the veteran polar geographer and the project's leader said that the team has completed the world's most difficult shipwreck search by fighting continuously moving sea-ice, dropping temperatures and blizzards.
It may be mentioned that Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, a principal figure of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration had led 3 British expeditions to the Antarctic.
In 1921, the Antarctic explorer passed away at the age of 47 due to a heart attack at the time when his ship was moored in South Georgia.
