Abandoned Seacraft On Antarctica’s Shore

Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance became a subject of worldwide fascination after its famous disastrous expedition to Antarctica. The seacraft successfully reached the Weddell Sea, but impenetrable mounds of ice overwhelmed the craft.

Countless efforts resolutely continued to set the ship free, but the polar region’s low temperatures restricted the ice from melting, and eventually, the crew left the vessel stranded. It has now sunk a great deal, and even the modern equipment of the 21st century has been so far unable to unearth the wrecked craft. The 300-ton transport has now officially gone down in history as a ‘ghost ship.’
