EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures a mesmerizing aerial view from a hot air balloon, looking down at the vast plateau below during Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton's National Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903). The 'Discovery' research ship can be seen alongside the ice shelf in Balloon Bight, with crew members appearing as tiny dots on the icy landscape. The tether of the balloon descends to land, casting a shadow on the snow-covered ground. The dark patch in the middle distance likely marks where the balloon was unpacked and inflated for this extraordinary journey. The serene beauty of Antarctica is evident in this image, showcasing its pristine snowscapes and rugged terrain. This photograph not only documents an important moment in exploration history but also provides a unique perspective on transportation methods used during expeditions to remote regions.
