    Ghostly remains

    The wreck of the RMS Titanic was discovered in 1985, 13,000ft underwater, about 350 miles from Newfoundland, Canada. It was the first time the ship had been seen since its demise in April 1912. Here, the bow of the Titanic is covered in "rusticles", porous icicle-like structures that form on rusting iron. (Emory Kristof/National Geographic Stock)
