On Shackleton’s ill-fated 1914 Endurance expedition to the Antarctic, Australian Frank Hurley, the expedition’s official photographer, captured with great artistry new and amazing landscapes, within which a remarkable human drama played out. In this illustrated lecture, UK historian Mark Cottle captures Hurley’s achievements as a photographer of the Antarctic in the first flush of human contact when it was still essentially terra incognita.
