關于歐內斯特沙克爾頓介紹的英語簡短文章

Sometimes history speaks in rhyme.

OnMarch5,1922, the polar explorer Ernest Shackleton was buried in a hillside cemetery on the island of South Georgia, in the frigid far southern reaches of the Atlantic.

The ship was found on the March 2022

— exactly 100 years after Shackleton was laid to rest.

Four days after the discovery, the Falklands Maritime Heritage

Trust, which organized the arch for Endurance, relead a video showing the ship at rest on the ocean floor, nearly two miles below

the surface of the Weddell Sea.

The images are mesmerizing.

A submersible camera circles the wreck, revealing portholes and hatches, a splintered mast, splayed ropes, an anchor chain and, on the deck, the ship’s wheel, which appears almost totally intact.

Endurance has become part of the deep d in March

a ecosystem, encrusted with sponges, a stars and other organisms.

Nevertheless, the boat is remarkably well prerved — a fact attributable, experts speculate, to the abnce from cold Antarctic waters of wood-eating creatures like parasitic worms.

The most striking shot in the video shows a ghostly white anemone, suctioned to the ship’s transom, above still-glinting lettering that spells the name “ENDURANCE.”

The ship’s story is one of the most illustrious in the annals of

exploration.

Late in 1914, Shackleton and a crew of 27 sailed south to the

Weddell Sea.

It was there, early in 1915, that Endurance became trapped in

pack ice.

The ship drifted amid the floes for more than 10 months before the shifting ice began to crush its hull and the a finally swallowed it.

Shackleton had intended to make the first land crossing of the

Antarctic continent;instead, he gained renown for, yes, endurance,

braving months stranded on the ice, stormy open-boat voyages and treks across glaciers to ensure that his maroone

d men would make it home alive.
