Dive into the haunting discovery of the Quest, Shackleton’s final ship, now entangled in fishing nets 400 meters below the Labrador Sea. After two years of searching, a remote vehicle captured stunning images revealing the wreck’s eerie state—fishing gear has done more damage than time. Once bought for Arctic exploration, the Quest ended up in Antarctica, where Shackleton died in 1922. Its history spans WWII minesweeping to seal hunting before its tragic end.
