A Canadian-led expedition has discovered the wreck of Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship *Quest*, marking a significant historical find in Arctic waters. The ship, which disappeared during Shackleton’s 1907 Antarctic expedition, was found by researchers led by John Geiger, whose new book details the journey. The discovery was made in Canadian territorial waters, near the northern tip of Ellesmere Island.
The *Quest* was one of the most ambitious polar expeditions of the early 20th century, aiming to reach the South Pole. Shackleton, a renowned explorer, had previously led the *Endurance* expedition, which became famous for its survival story. The *Quest* was intended to continue his polar exploration but vanished without a trace.
This discovery comes nearly a century after the ship’s disappearance. The expedition, which took place over several years, used advanced sonar technology and historical records to locate the wreck. The find has been hailed as a major contribution to polar history and maritime archaeology. John Geiger, who led the search, has written a book chronicling the journey, providing insight into the challenges faced by the team. The location of the wreck underscores Canada’s role in preserving and uncovering historical maritime events in the Arctic.
