Zombies thrive in the Antarctic and it is the one region where shipwrecks are preserved, conclude researchers recently in their findings.

A few of experts have revealed in their latest statements that the Antarctic is a region where no wood-boring ship worms are present. They added that the famous ship of Ernest Shackleton i. e. the Endurance, which he was forced to abandon in the year 1915 during his Antarctic expedition, is still floating on the ocean floor and that too in a very good condition.

Above are the findings of a team of experts who have been researching for several years to know how the sunken wood degrades in the southern polar waters. They ran several experiments for over a year and found that the submerged plank in the region returned back to the surface normally and that too in near-pristine condition.

Scientists have based their findings upon the absence of wood-boring "ship worms" in the region. They said that these molluscs are normally found everywhere in the world and thus they devour sunken wood rapidly anywhere else.

Highlighting the recent findings, Mr. Adrian Glover from London's Natural History Museum said that the Antarctic region is circled by several currents which they believe prevent such organisms from getting into the continent.
