It’s remarkable. There’s still plates and crockery on the deck. The ship looks in incredible condition. I don’t think there are any plans to raise Endeavour. Too deep and as there’s nothing that’s causing decay to the wood. It should stay in place.

If Endurance22 succeeds in finding the lost ship, no artefacts will be pulled up.

The vessel is a site of historic importance and has been designated as a monument under the international Antarctic Treaty. It mustn't be disturbed.

Mensun Bound says the team will instead make a highly detailed 3D scan.

"There's no point raising something like the Endurance, anyway. What would you do with it? There isn't a museum on Earth that could accept it. The cost of its conservation, preservation and display would be at any museum's throat forever."
