“The search for the Endurance was 10 years in the making. For me personally seeing the Endurance again is a reminder of the incredible events that unfolded after she sank, and it’s Shackleton’s leadership and the resilience of his men surviving against the longest of odds that are the real legacy of Endurance’s final voyage. “This is by far the finest wooden shipwreck I have ever seen. “This has been the most complex subsea project ever undertaken, with several world records achieved to ensure the safe detection of Endurance,” he said. “I think the discovery of Endurance is incredible at so many levels,” Tim said after the discovery was announced. “That she has been found also brings closure to some, whilst revealing the story to others who perhaps hadn’t heard it.

A previous attempt to find the Endurance three years ago ended in failure. It was surveyed using the latest tools and its position confirmed. “We have made polar history with the discovery of Endurance, and successfully completed the world’s most challenging shipwreck search.” We were able to film the wreck in super-high definition. He tweeted: “The wreck is coherent, in an astonishing state of preservation. “This is by far the finest wooden shipwreck I have ever seen.

I would also like to say thank you to The Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust, and all of our partners, especially in South Africa, who have played a vital role in the success of the expedition.” Short-form content continues to be distributed to millions of subscribers, including with content breaking on TikTok. The team has also been filming for a long-form observational documentary chronicling the expedition which has been commissioned by National Geographic to air later this year. 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. In addition, we have undertaken important scientific research in a part of the world that directly affects the global climate and environment. Saab provided the Sabertooth so I also want to thank them, including their ace team on board SA Agulhas II, and those who ensured the vehicles performed as well as they did.” We 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. “This has been the most complex subsea project ever undertaken, with several world records achieved to ensure the safe detection of Endurance. State of the art subsea technologies have been deployed to achieve this successful outcome and I would particularly like to thank the subsea team for all of the engineering support, both on board the ship and throughout the months of planning, design and testing. However, it is not all about the past; we are bringing the story of Shackleton and Endurance to new audiences, and to the next generation, who will be entrusted with the essential safeguarding of our polar regions and our planet. It is upright, well proud of the seabed, intact, and in a brilliant state of preservation. The Trustees extend to them all our warmest thanks and congratulations on this historic achievement.” “Our objectives for Endurance22 were to locate, survey and film the wreck, but also to conduct important scientific research, and to run an exceptional outreach programme. The team worked from the South African polar research and logistics vessel, S. A. Agulhas II, owned by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and Environment and under Master, Capt. Knowledge Bengu, using Saab’s Sabertooth hybrid underwater search vehicles.
