Shackleton's Endurance

Frank Hurley's magical colour photographs are some of the rarest and most valuable images of Antarctica, taken using one of the first colour photographic processes called the Paget Colour Plate system.

Hurley's colour images record Ernest Shackleton's famous British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914-1917, onboard the ill-fated Endurance.
