Shipwrecks of Shackleton and Scott recreated in 3D digital form after deep sea expedition
- Moments after devouring the final glimmers of light, the seafloor offered nothing but darkness and silt.
- More than 1,000ft (305 metres) below the surface of the Labrador Sea, off the coast of Canada, the skeleton of the final ship used by the famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton appeared in its silty grave.
- “To see a very large ship in the abyss, and to realise you are among the first humans to see it, and to realise that it is largely intact is a powerful experience,” said John Geiger, the head of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS).
