Visiting the Titanic is suddenly a lot easier
than you think

Fresh advances in 3D scanning technology are making it possible to explore some of the hardest-to-reach and most fragile sites on Earth.

In the decades since the R.M.S. Titanic was discovered in the North Atlantic, the wreck's condition has been corroded by rust and communities of microbes. Most recently, a stretch of the railing from its iconic bow fell to the ocean floor.
