First Close-Up Images of Quest, Ernest Shackleton's Last Ship, Reveal Ghost Nets Covering the Wreck

Explorers have captured the first close-up images of Quest, the last ship of famed Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, revealing it's now covered in ghost nets. This historic wreck, found in the Labrador Sea, offers a haunting glimpse into both human exploration and the environmental crisis. With Alvin, the pioneering submersible that first visited Titanic, documenting this wreck underscores the ongoing threat of marine pollution and the need for greater ocean conservation efforts. The images serve as a stark reminder of humanity's impact on the deep sea, even on the graves of historic vessels.
