It is upright, well proud of the seabed, intact, and in a brilliant state of preservation,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/endurance-ernest-shackletons-lost-ship-found-after-107-years-11646821921\">said<\/a> Mensun Bound, one of the directors of the mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Shackleton made several expeditions to try to reach the South Pole, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Ernest-Henry-Shackleton\"><span>once<\/span><\/a><span> planted the British flag just over 100 miles away from it. His travels were made famous during his expedition from 1914-1916 when the Endurance became stranded in ice and Shackleton and his crew were forced to abandon it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For the next five months, Shackleton and his crew survived by floating on large sheets of ice before making it to Elephant Island. They lived off penguin and seal meat, and had to eat their dogs while on the island, located in the South Shetland Islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Eventually, they made it to South Georgia Island, after an 800-mile trip in a whale boat. Shackleton and all of the Endurance crew were able to make it off the island alive four months later. The British explorer would later die in 1922.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Now the ship, once lost to the ice, has been found using submersibles, after efforts by the <\/span><span>Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust and the S.A. Agulhas II, a logistics ship. The submersibles <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/09\/climate\/endurance-wreck-found-shackleton.html\"><span>would<\/span><\/a><span>, for several hours at a time, search the seafloor for any objects around where the archeologists believed the ship might have went down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe water was as clear as distilled water, with a visibility of 30 meters at least. It felt like time travel,\u201d historian Dan Snow said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bound, one of the mission\u2019s directors, added that the discovery was a \u201cmilestone in polar history\u201d and that he hoped it would inspire others to be interested in the arctic region.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe hope our discovery will engage young people and inspire them with the pioneering spirit, courage and fortitude of those who sailed Endurance to Antarctica. We pay tribute to the navigational skills of Captain Frank Worsley, the Captain of the Endurance, whose detailed records were invaluable in our quest to locate the wreck,\u201d he <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/endurance22.org\/endurance-is-found\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><i><span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span>A documentary about the expedition to find the lost ship is expected to be aired in the fall of 2022 by National Geographic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>John Shears, the expedition leader, stated that he believed his team had \u201cmade polar history\u201d after finishing \u201cthe world\u2019s most challenging shipwreck search.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The effort to locate the historic ship began in early February, after an anonymous donor provided the $10 million needed to fund the trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
