Their answer: use cutting-edge generative AI tools to give voice to the personal diaries, letters and other writings of Shackleton and members of the 27-man crew he kept alive for over 750 days ...

Ernest Shackleton's legendary last ship, the Quest, has been found in the Atlantic after 60 years. What does the discovery mean?

In 2022, Ernest Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, was discovered at the bottom of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. Now 3D scans show the legendary shipwreck in extraordinary detail.

Shipwreck experts found Ernest Shackleton’s last vessel on the ocean floor 62 years after its sinking. The polar explorer died aboard the vessel over a century ago.
