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.
Stockholm-based filmmaker Kalle Ljung shot this with a GoPro camera stuck on a DJI Phantom 2 drone.
This movie was shot during our 20 days trip to Antarctica in December 2014 to January 2015. We started from Ushuaia in Argentina and went to Port Williams in Chile, rounded Cape Horn and crossed the Drake Passage towards the Melchior Islands in Antarctica. We spent 16 days in the Antarctic and got to experience the most amazing scenery and wildlife before we returned back to Ushuaia.
Marine scientist Cassandra Brooks spent months on the enormous Nathaniel B. Palmer, an ice breaker in the Ross Sea, and she has this gorgeous and fascinating timelapse to prove it.
Thank you, Matt, for the find.
