Antarctic Photographs, 1910 - 1916: Scott, Mawson and Shackleton Expeditions

119 pp. ...two names emerge as giant figures of pictorial history of the Antarctic: Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley. Herbert Ponting, and Englishman who joined Scott's 1910 expedition and thus became the first true "camera-artist" of the Antarctic, gave the world its first authentic view of the terrible southland terrain with its dazzling wildlife scenes. Frank Hurley, Australian, went with Mawson's 1911-13 expedition to an untrodden part of the Antarctic where more daunting conditions for the photographer could not be imagined.
