The ship is the same that had taken Captain Robert Scott and his crew in 1910 from Cardiff, but had failed in the mid-way and predestined the whole journey. The aim of the Scott’s group was to reach the South Pole and be the first to do the same.

The researchers’ this time were not purposed at finding the ship. Though, the discovery off Greenland has been made while another examination was being conducted. The team was actually testing its echo-sounding equipment that was aboard a flagship vessel named flagship vessel.

A hi-tech underwater vehicle was being used to test the same, but before completion of the test, it detected an unknown substance. Following finding the feature was of 57m length, the group confirmed it was the Terra Nova itself.

The findings were followed by fixing of a remote camera dubbed Shrimp that captured the remains lying on the seabed. 'It is incredible that one of the most famous ships in history has been found 100 years after the race for the pole and in the year commemorating the event”, said education officer Brian Kelly.
