An old whaling ship that carried Captain Robert Scott to the Antarctic and on a doomed expedition to the South Pole a century ago has been found off the coast of Greenland, the BBC reports. A salvage company testing echo-sounding equipment discovered the SS Terra Nova, which sank after hitting an iceberg while carrying supplies during World War II. The Schmidt Ocean Institute explains it discovered the SS Terra Nova while doing a shakedown cruise for its new flagship vessel, the R/V Falkor.
