Shackleton's lost ship found after 107 years - Ombligo - 03-09-2022
The Endurance, the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found Saturday at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.
The ship was crushed by sea-ice and sank in 1915, forcing Shackleton and his men to make an astonishing escape on foot and in small boats. The escape was one of the greatest sea survival stories ever.
The ship looks intact and the cold water has preserved it near perfectly.

“ For over two weeks, the subs had combed a predefined search area, investigating various interesting targets, before finally uncovering the wreck site on Saturday - the 100th anniversary of Shackleton's funeral. “

Anyone not familiar with the Shackleton expedition, I highly recommend the book "Endurance" by Alfred Lansing.
Just be on a warm beach somewhere when you read the part when they talk about climbing into their sleeping bags, that are loaded with 30 lbs of ICE, to stay "warm"...

Condensation and salt spray in the small boat they took to South Georgia Island... collected on their sleeping bags, and froze. They were each more than 30lbs heavier... and they climbed in them to be "warm".
Every single man of the expedition survived. How ANY of them did is one of the most incredible tales in history.
