Photos Frozen in a Block of Ice: 100-Year-Old Negatives of Antarctica

Ryan Nance March 28, 2016

Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Ross Sea Party, which was stranded in a hut when their ship blew out to sea, left a box of never-before-seen negatives when they were finally rescued. Recently, Conservators of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust came across the 22 exposed, but unprocessed, cellulose nitrate negatives during an attempt to restore an old exploration hut.
