Photos from the Shackleton 1914-1917 expedition found...

Photos from the Shackleton 1914-1917 expedition found...  Conservators found these 22 negatives frozen together in a block of ice, in a box found in a hut on Cape Evans in AntarcticaThe negatives were separated, cleaned up, and printed; one example is at right.  If you're not familiar with the Shackleton expeditions, it's one of the great stories of human exploration – well worth reading about.  There are several excellent books about Shackleton's expeditions, and lots of material on the web as well...
