Finding Shackleton’s lost ice ship
The hunt for Shackleton’s lost ice ship
The Expedition
On 3rd February 2022, a major international scientific expedition set sail from Cape Town in the South African polar research vessel, SA Agulhas II, heading for one of the coldest, harshest and most remote locations in the world: the Antarctic. On board were a team of 60 maritime archaeologists, engineers, scientists and sub-sea technicians. Their mission – to find the Endurance, which hadn’t been seen for more than 100 years. Using underwater robots, helicopters and other state-of-the-art technology, the Endurance22 expedition would become the first to locate and survey Sir Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship, which sank in the Weddell Sea in November 1915.

In February and March 2022, a major international scientific expedition explored one of the coldest, harshest and most remote locations in the world, in a quest to find the Endurance. Using underwater robots, helicopters and other state-of-the-art technology, the Endurance22 expedition was the first to locate and survey Sir Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship which sank in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica in 1915.
The Expedition Vessel
The Endurance22 expedition provided an unprecedented opportunity to explore one of the most remote and least studied places on our planet in a quest to uncover the lost secrets of the Endurance. Carrying a team of over 65 members, the mission was conducted from the South African polar research and logistics vessel, S.A. Agulhas II.
The Search Area
The approximate location of Endurance was logged by the ship’s captain, Frank Worsley, using a sextant and a theodolite at the spot where she eventually sank in 1915, after becoming trapped and eventually crushed by the thick sea ice of the Weddell Sea. The Endurance22 expedition team used this information to get as close as possible to the Endurance wreck site.
