Terra Nova polar shipwreck filmed in detail for first time | BBC News

One of the most famous polar shipwrecks, which carried Captain Scott and his men to reach the South Pole, has been filmed in detail underwater for the first time.

More than a century ago, The British party lost the race to the pole - and died on their return journey in 1912.

The Terra Nova shipwreck was discovered in 2012, but the new expedition has been the first opportunity to record extensive footage of it.

New footage shows the Terra Nova colonised with sea life, but key features of the wooden ship are still visible including its wheel, winch and mast.
