Endurance in 3D: Tech Talk
On November 21, 1915, the Endurance sank in the Antarctic pack ice in the Weddell Sea. Sir Ernest Shackleton's quest to cross the Antarctic continent was doomed. What transpired in the aftermath of the sinking was an incredible feat of human endurance when Shackleton and his 27 men beat the odds, surviving grueling conditions to make it back home. In this episode, we talk with Voyis' Brenden St John about Voyis' scanning and imaging technology helped bring the 3D model of the famed ship to life.
