The imagery of the Endurance wreck, discovered during the Endurance22 expedition in the Weddell Sea, was cap- tured on a DeepSea 4k Optim SeaCam. The footage from the Optim shows the wreck’s incredibly well-preserved stern and the diverse colony of organisms that are thriving within and on the ship’s remains.
