The Titanic is being consumed by rust and bacteria, and the famous wreck will soon be no more.

The most recent photos sent back from this year’s expedition show that what remains of the Titanic has disintegrated significantly in the last ten years.

The hull, sheered in half during the wreck, has sat on the ocean floor just off the Grand Banks since 1912. It was declared a protected UNESCO memorial site in 2012.

Larry Daley, who dove down to the Titanic with James Cameron in 2003, says you can see the steady erosion of what remains of the wreck.

The rusticles, small stalactites of bacteria and rust, are consuming the hull, and elements of the ship reportedly made of pig iron.

Daley thinks even within the next ten years we could see the surviving decks collapse in on themselves, leaving almost nothing behind.
