A Cavern in an Iceberg
Photograph by Herbert George Ponting (1871-1935)
Antarctica, 1910
From the portfolio Scott's Last Expedition, The British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-1913. Herbert Ponting was the official photographer for Captain Scott's tragic final expedition, enduring sub-zero temperatures to document this uncharted environment. In The Great White South (1921), he recalled discovering this cavern:
'A fringe of long icicles hung at the entrance of the grotto and passing under these I was in the most wonderful place imaginable. From the outside, the interior appeared quite white and colourless, but, once inside, it was a lovely symphony of blue and green.'
Custom printed on semi-gloss 250gsm premium lustre photo satin paper.
