It was March 5, 2022. Scientist Mensun Bound and his team had been sailing for 40 days. Their powerful ship sliced through the sheets of ice covering the surface of the Weddell Sea. This frigid body of water is near Antarctica. It’s also where they hoped to find the wreck of one of history’s most famous ships—Endurance.
Ernest Shackleton’s doomed ship had been lost since sinking more than 100 years ago. Bound’s team was on the hunt to find it!
