Photos from the Shackleton 1914-1917 expedition found... Conservators found these 22 negatives frozen together in a block of ice, in a box found in
a hut on Cape Evans in Antarctica.
The negatives were separated, cleaned up, and printed; one example is at right. If you're not familiar with
the Shackleton expeditions, it's one of the great stories of human exploration – well worth reading about. There are several excellent books about Shackleton's expeditions, and lots of material on the web as well...
