The digital scan, which is made from 25,000 high resolution images, was captured when the ship was found in 2022. Its been released as part of a new documentary called Endurance, which will be shown at cinemas. The team has scoured the scan for tiny details, each of which tell a story linking the past to the present. ![]() In the picture you can see the plates that the crew used for daily meals, left scattered across the deck. ![]() The flare gun was fired by Frank Hurley, the expeditions photographer, as the ship that had been the crews home was lost to the ice. Hurley gets this flare gun, and he fires the flare gun into the air with a massive detonator as a tribute to the ship,? explains Dr John Shears who led the expedition that found Endurance. "And then in the diary, he talks about putting it down on the deck. And there we are. We come back over 100 years later, and theres that flare gun, incredible. ![]() The Endurance documentary is premiering at the London Film Festival on 12 October and will be released in cinemas in the UK on 14 October. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lYMNvFqkYc |
