Description
A Mem ory of Ice
Photography was taken to a high aesthetic peak in the heroic age
expeditions of Scott and Shackleton. Herbert Ponting, who travelled with Scott, called himself a ‘photographic artist’. Frank Hurley, who was an innovator in the use of a camera, against all odds produced unforgettable images of the crushing and sinking of Shackleton’s Endurance in the ice of the Weddell Sea. He later sailed with Mawson, taking not only still photographs of onboard activities and equipment for dredging, but also film sequences, some of which were widely shown to boost funding for further expeditions. The images of both Ponting and Hurley have come to symbolise Antarctica in the minds of a curious public.
