Cameras Deep Underwater Capture Perfect Digital Records of Lost Explorer Ships

A Canadian team sent a submarine equipped with cameras over a mile underwater to photograph two famous shipwrecks: Quest and Terra Nova, vessels that belonged to rival polar explorers Shackleton and Scott. The cameras took thousands of pictures that researchers then stitched together like a puzzle into complete 3D models—digital copies so detailed they look real. The ships stayed undisturbed on the ocean floor. This shows how we can preserve history without raising the wreck.
