The famous wreck - in great shape because of the lack of wood-eating microbes in the icy waters there - will remain untouched, and no artifacts will be retrieved. Using submersibles with 4K cameras and lighting arrays, they found a well-preserved wreck, and are still on-site recording and documenting their findings. HMS Endurance, the lost ship belonging to Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found last weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea at a depth of approximately three kilometres. They found Endurance at a depth of over 3,000 feet in the Weddell Sea. It took the crew 10 days of navigating treacherous terrain and icy waters to reach the search area.
