The wreckage of Endurance, helmed by Eastbourne’s Ernest Shackleton, has been found.

According to the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance has not been seen since it was crushed by the ice and sank in the Weddell Sea near Antarctica in 1915.

One hundred years on from Sir Shackleton’s death, Endurance was found at a depth of 3,008 metres in the Weddell Sea today (Wednesday, March 9).
