The Endurance is a 144-foot ship that sank in 1915 during Ernest Shackleton's expedition. Deep-sea explorers have successfully found the wreckage of the ship, 10,000 feet below the Antarctic waters. Along with the ship, interesting sea creatures were found to have made a home of it. It has become a place of foundation for fledgling anemones, sea squirts, and other animals to take hold. The animals living around the ship can withstand temperatures that reach below -2 degrees Celsius. Learn more about the creatures here!
