    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."
