Frank Hurley

Antarctic Witness

Chart the dramatic events of Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–17. Experience this extraordinary journey as seen through the eyes of Frank Hurley, official photographer to the expedition. Set against the majestic backdrop of the Antarctic, Hurley’s artistry as a photographer is revealed. He captures daily life on board the ‘Endurance’ and later on ice as Shackleton and his crew are left stranded, after their ship meets a violent end crushed by pack ice. Shackleton’s efforts to rescue his crew are now legendary partly due to Hurley’s amazing visual testimony. Recorded in 120 slides, they now form part of the Society's Picture Library
