The exhibition Endurance and the Great White Silence at Atlas Gallery brings together the most famous and most influential photographs of Antarctica ever taken in superb new platinum-palladium prints. It is the first time these images by three legendary Antarctic names – Scott, Ponting and Hurley – have been exhibited together. The photographs by Herbert G. Ponting (1870-1935), Captain Scott’s official photographer on his final expedition, and Frank Hurley (1885-1962), Ernest Shackleton’s photographer on the Endurance expedition, are complemented by a limited-edition book containing Captain Scott’s own photographs, taken as he headed to the South Pole.
