In March this year, the Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance was found, three thousand metres under the icy Weddell Sea - 107 years after it sank. The British maritime archaeologist Mensun Bound, along with a large team of scientists, meteorologists, engineers and dive specialists found the ship still still in remarkably good condition. For Bound, the search for Shackleton's ship was the culmination of a lifetime fascination with the explorer and his Antarctic expeditions. He speaks to Kathryn about his new book, The Ship Beneath The Ice. |
