In a corner of a century-old supply depot, buried deep under Antarctic snow, a team from the Antarctic Heritage Trust has uncovered a cache of undeveloped photos of Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.
The expedition launched in 1914 and was an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent, following Amundsen’s successful conquest of the South Pole in 1911.
