Mar Sem Fim, Antarctica




Brazilian research yacht Mar Sem Fim sank while patrolling Antarctica on April 7th 2012. For over a year, the yacht was stuck not on the ocean floor itself, but under more than 10 feet of Antarctic sea ice, creating this amazing and truly unbelievable image.

While the crew of four was rescued during the sinking, the yacht itself spend more than a year under the Antarctic sea ice before it was recovered by a team of rescue divers in early 2013.
