The Endurance, the lost vessel of Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, was found at the weekend at the bottom of the Weddell Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video of the remains show Endurance to be in remarkable condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it has been sitting in 3km (10,000ft) of water for over a century, it looks just like it did on the November day it went down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its timbers, although disrupted, are still very much together, and the name \u2013 Endurance \u2013 is clearly visible on the stern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eWithout any exaggeration this is the finest wooden shipwreck I have ever seen \u2013 by far,\u201c said marine archaeologist Mensun Bound, who is on the discovery expedition and has now fulfilled a dream ambition in his near 50-year career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eIt is upright, well proud of the seabed, intact, and in a brilliant state of preservation,\u201c he told BBC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project to find the lost ship was mounted by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust (FMHT), using a South African icebreaker, Agulhas II, and equipped with remotely operated submersibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission\u2019s leader, the veteran polar geographer Dr John Shears, described the moment cameras landed on the ship\u2019s name as \u201ejaw-dropping\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eThe discovery of the wreck is an incredible achievement,\u201c he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eWe have successfully completed the world\u2019s most difficult shipwreck search, battling constantly shifting sea-ice, blizzards, and temperatures dropping down to -18C. We have achieved what many people said was impossible.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
