The whereabouts of wooden ship, which was submerged in the Weddell Sea after it became trapped in ice in 1915, had remained a mystery for decades.

“It is upright, well proud of the seabed, intact, and in a brilliant state of preservation. “We are overwhelmed by our good fortune in having located and captured images of Endurance,” Mensun Bound added. However, an expedition has now located the remarkably intact vessel at a depth of 3,008 metres, approximately four miles south of the position originally recorded by the ship’s captain Frank Worsley, The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust said.

Who is Ernest Shackleton? (Halstead Gazette)

Ernest Shackleton's ship HMS Endurance was discovered 107 years after sinking, but who was Shackleton himself?

Unfortunately, Shackleton died at Grytviken, South Georgia, at the outset of the journey in 1922. After then sailing 800 miles to South Georgia, Shackleton was able to rescue his crew through four separate relief expeditions, and amazingly none of his crew died in the whole ordeal. The Endurance22 expedition was able to locate the ship, which was found at a depth of 3,008 metres in the Weddell Sea.

Endurance: Shackleton's wreck found in 'brilliant state' in Antarctic (RNZ)

Explorers and researchers have located Endurance, Ernest Shackleton's ship that sank in the Antarctic in 1915.

In the Weddell Sea, Endurance never reached land and became trapped in the dense pack ice and the 28 men on board eventually had no choice but to abandon ship. From there, he was able to mount a rescue of the men waiting on Elephant Island and bring them home without loss of life. Shackleton and five others then made a 1300km journey in the lifeboat, James Caird, to reach South Georgia. Shackleton and two others then crossed the mountainous island to the whaling station at Stromness. It was Sir Ernest Shackleton's ambition to achieve the first land crossing of Antarctica from the Weddell Sea via the South Pole to the Ross Sea. He said the find was "a milestone in polar history" and would help bring Shackleton's story to the next generation. The ship was crushed by sea-ice, forcing British explorer Ernest Shackleton and his men to make an astonishing escape on foot and in small boats.
