New footage of the shipwreck "Endurance" has been revealed in a National Geographic documentary. The ship, lost in 1915 during Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, was discovered in March 2022. The film showcases thousands of 3D scans captured by a 4K camera. The documentary premiered at the London Film Festival and will be released in cinemas and on Disney+. It features artifacts like a flare gun and the ship's wheel, highlighting the ship's remarkable condition at nearly 10,000 feet deep in the Weddell Sea. Filmmakers combined historical accounts with modern exploration efforts, using AI to recreate diary entries from Shackleton's crew. The documentary emphasizes the challenges faced by both the original expedition and the recent search team.
