Does this prevent them from entering Shackleton's cabin? With the amazing condition this ship has remained in, I wonder what interesting things they would find in there.

I dunno, I know that people have been preserving relics from polar expedition huts, Scott's and Shackleton's for example.

(You can even buy a whisky based on the whisky they found stashed at Shackleton's Hut): https://nzaht.org/shackletons-whisky/

Apparently some of the gas canisters and canned food from Scotts expedition are still good, and lying around in the ice and snow.

IIRC all the interesting stuff had been removed from the ship already before it went down. But yes, a peek around inside would be interesting anyway.
