With this post I break a bit with my own rule about only publish historical photographs, but this is so interesting and relevant that I thought it's okay. From Dmitry Kiselev who work in the cruise industry in Antarctica we've got a couple of videos and some photographs documenting the wreck of “The governor” so she looks in December 2017. This first is a video that shows her above the waterline.
