Ernest Shackleton

First-ever full-sized scans of the shipwrecks of Shackleton and Scott could reveal new insights into their ill-fated expeditions. The scans aim to shed light on what occurred during the historic voyages.

Frank Hurley, the official photographer on Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, saved 120 glass-plate negatives after the ship Endurance became trapped in ice in 1915. Hurley later smashed 400 negatives to lighten lifeboats, while the crew survived months on ice before being rescued. The Royal Geographical Society has published surviving photos from the expedition.

Canadian scientists have recreated the shipwrecks of polar explorers Ernest Shackleton and Robert Scott in 3D digital form following a deep-sea expedition. The expedition discovered Shackleton's ship in the Labrador Sea, 1,000ft below the surface.
