Speaking of cool cetacean footage, look at this GORGEOUS video I stumbled across on youtube. Close encounters of the 1st kind, B1 to be exact (yes the joke barely works but im still making it). Love love love those close up spy hops in the beginning you can see every pit in their skin and the front views really drive home how weird and.... bulbous their faces are. I love them a very normal amount.

Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance has been seen like never before in a detailed 3D scan.

The wreck of the explorer’s vessel was found 3,000 metres beneath the surface of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea in 2022, more than a century on from its sinking in 1915.

The Anglo-Irish explorer was leading an attempt to cross the ice-covered continent in 1915 when his ship sank after being crushed by pack ice.

Now a new digital scan made from 25,000 separate images of Endurance has captured it in remarkable detail.
