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.
