On Ice: 100-year-old negatives discovered in Antarctic

Quote:

Conservators restoring an Antarctic exploration hut recently made a remarkable discovery:
a small box of 22 exposed but unprocessed photographic negatives,
frozen in a solid block of ice for nearly one hundred years.<snip>

Quote:

It's the first example that I'm aware of, of undeveloped negatives
from a century ago from the Antarctic heroic era. There's a paucity of images from that expedition.

The Ross Sea Party's expedition is one of those extraordinary efforts
in an era of heroic exploration that today has been all but forgotten.
In January 1915, the exploration ship Aurora dropped off Shackleton's head scientist,
the team's photographer and eight other men on the shore of the McMurdo Sound
in the Ross Sea with provisions and equipment to set supply depots for the rest of the team.

Shackleton's would start from the opposite side of Antarctica on the shore of the Weddell Sea,
venture to the South Pole then rely on supply depots set by the Ross Sea party
for their trip to McMurdo sound. The Aurora would winter offshore, providing a safe haven
for the both groups upon their return. Little about the trip went according to plan.

The Aurora broke free from her moorings during a blizzard and
was blown out to sea, leaving the Ross Sea Party stranded on the ice.

From Lamplighter's 'starting point', to Dave Martin's finishing point.

Right after taking this pic, Dave Martin, looongtime AP photographer, collapsed on the field at the Georgia Dome. He died Wednesday morning.

Outstanding last photo, Mr. Martin.

Apparently he was the best at finding the perfect spot to capture the typical Gatorade victory shower.

No way this is unaltered...the line between ocean and atmosphere is just too sharp. Two pic stack, at best, but still...

I don't remember if I posted before about my G-son's pontoon float down the North Fork of the Nehalem River.
But today he sent me this panorama of one of the rapids.

I'm impressed by the quality of today's cell phone pics and composites.

Wow. So one of those engines is approximately the size of that tanker in the foreground?

Gravdigr · 03-28-2014, 01:41 PM

Prolly larger.
