The Wreck of Endurance
In the Antarctic Deep Sea, the shipwreck of Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance rests at a depth of 10,000 feet. It has laid there for more than 100 years, and yet unlike all other known shipwrecks, the wood has not decayed. It is preserved in the icy waters, where wood-eating bacteria and invertebrates are not present due to the minimal amounts of natural wood that makes its way to the sea floor here.
