In 1915, Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance was squeezed and crushed by Antarctic sea ice and sank, leaving his men stranded on the ice. Shackleton led an astonishing escape on foot and in small boats, even sailing a lifeboat across brutal seas to go get help. For over a century nobody knew exactly where the ship was. Then in March 2022 an expedition using underwater robots found it nearly two miles down in the Weddell Sea, upright, intact, and with the name ENDURANCE still clearly visible on the stern.
