This is the astonishing visual record of a legendary find- the wreck of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance, located 10,000 feet below the ice in Antarctica's Weddell Sea.

A gripping narrative describes the search, backed up by history and science and illustrated with vivid undersea photography of the discovery.

This is the amazing story in words and images of the historic discovery of the wreck of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance, deep beneath the ice of Antarctica.

In March 2022, an international polar expedition team made an astonishing find- the wreck of Ernest Shackleton's legendary Endurance, lost in 1915 after being crushed by ice and then swallowed by the Weddell Sea. The harrowing story of Shackleton's survival and rescue of all 27 men aboard is well known, but the ship has lain unseen for a century, 10,000 feet underwater-until now. The vessel remains incredibly intact, as crystal-clear photography and digital scans from the expedition reveal. A thrilling firsthand account of the expedition coauthored by its leader and deputy leader, this is the first and only book to fully document the discovery, produced in full cooperation with the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust.

He is a subsea engineer and surveyor based near Marseille, France. He grew up in a very small village called Champdor in the French Alps.
