A protection ring around the Endurance, the most famous Antarctic shipwrecks, is to be widened from 500 metres to 1,500 metres in order to restrict activities close to the vessel, The Guardian reports.
The move is part of an international plan to conserve the site, drawn up by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) and Historic England. The plan says the Endurance will be preserved in situ, all activity will be undertaken with the aim of preserving and enhancing the site, and nothing will be taken or deposited from the wreck and surrounding area.
