You may have seen on the news that Shackleton's ship Endurance has been found in Antarctica 107 years after she sank.
And of course I don't have to tell you what is going on in Ukraine.
The cartoonist in yesterday's London Evening Standard neatly combined the two topics.
p.s. I am posting this for artistic reasons, NOT political comment (just in case anyone is sensitive about such things)

A fitting tribute indeed! Thanks very much Graeme.
It was fascinating to see how incredibly well preserved this ship was because of the extremely cold water.

A wonderful discovery. The ship is too deep to currently recover and certainly won't be bothered by recreational divers. Regarding the last image, that artist was very timely with his cartoon.
