Finding Shackleton's Endurance, Can Hurley's Images Be Far Behind?
Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship, Endurance, which was crushed by ice and sank in 1915, has just been found. How is this photography related? Somewhere on board the ship is a treasure trove of Frank Hurley images documenting one of the last expeditions of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Hurley's plates and film have been sitting in just over 3000 meters of frigid Weddell Seawater for over 100 years.
