Pittenweem Harbour © Mike McCawNew high-resolution pictures
of a famous expedition that
took place a hundred years ago
have been produced from the
original glass plates.
The pictures by Frank Hurley
record Ernest Shackleton and
the Endurance Expedition of
1914-17. The expedition was
an attempt to make the first
land crossing of the Antarcticcontinent. However, the ship
became stuck in ice and the
crew had to leave it and find
refuge on the deserted Elephant
Island. Shackleton then sailed
800 miles in an open boat to
arrange the rescue of his men.
Hurley’s glass plates and
celluloid negatives of the
expedition are stored securely
at the Royal GeographicalSociety in London. Newly
digitised versions taken directly
from the originals have been
made and reveal detail never
seen before.
More than 90 pictures –
some over 2m in width and
height – are exhibited at the
Royal Geographical Society in
Kensington Gore, London,
until 28 February.Endurance in full sail by Frank Hurley.4-5_NEWS_185 ER/MB.indd 44-5_NEWS_185 ER/MB.indd 4 02/12/2015 10:1402/12/2015 10:
