The location of Sir Ernest Shackletonâs Endurance has been one of the great maritime mysteries since the ship became trapped in ice and sank in 1915. Finding this symbol of the âheroic ageâ of polar exploration at the bottom of the Weddell Sea was long thought impossible because of the harshness of the Antarctic environment â âthe evil conditionsâ, as Shackleton described them.
Now a major scientific expedition, announced on Monday, is being planned with a mission to locate, survey and film the wreck.
Endurance22 will launch early next year, in a vessel that will brave the most treacherous frozen waters, pounding its way through miles of pack ice.
