The ship itself remained lost until 2022. Its discovery made headlines around the world - and the footage of Endurance revealed that it is beautifully preserved by the icy waters. The new 3D scan was made using underwater robots that mapped the wreck from every angle, taking thousands of photographs. These were then "stitched" together to create a digital twin. While footage filmed at this depth can only show parts of Endurance in the gloom, the scan shows the complete 44m long wooden wreck from bow to stern - even recording the grooves carved into the sediment as the ship skidded to a halt on the seafloor. The model reveals how the ship was crushed by the ice - the masts toppled and parts of the deck in tatters - but the structure itself is largely intact.
