That's because it's all shot in an underwater set in Pinewood. Fact!I was a scuba diver for many years and dived on numerous wrecks. I have never seen anything like this. It's almost like a filmset from a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Absolutely astounding. Most wrecks I've seen have been broken down and are covered in a thick carpet of sea life. You can see every detail of that steering gear. Amazing.
More seriously, the pictures are absolutely fantastic.
I went to an exhibition a few years ago (2015 by the looks of it - https://www.spri.cam.ac.uk/museum/n.../telling-the-story-of-shackleton-and-his-men/ ) at the Polar Research Institute in Cambridge. It was superb - a story that you wouldn't believe if it was fiction. I literally cannot imagine what it would have been like for him or his men; it would have been terrifying.
