The goal: create detailed digital twins of Quest and Terra Nova while leaving the historic wrecks undisturbed on the sea floor. Nearly 400 metres below the Labrador Sea, the wreck of the Quest has remained largely untouched since it sank in 1962. Beginning this week, an expedition paid for by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) through a mix of private donors, philanthropy and corporate sponsors will attempt to create the most detailed digital record yet of the ship that carried famed Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton on his final voyage. Using Canadian underwater imaging technology developed by Waterloo, Ont.-based Voyis, researchers hope to build a high-resolution digital twina detailed, three-dimensional model of the wreckbefore also surveying Terra Nova, the ship that carried British explorer Robert Falcon Scott to Antarctica. CBC News will be the only Canadian media organization aboard the research vessel Atlantis that is undertaking the voyage to the shipwreck sites and will provide exclusive coverage from the ship as scientists survey the wrecks.
