Nimrod Pack Pancake Phenomena Photographed Ross Shackleton 1907 Ice Floes
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the unique and otherworldly beauty of pancake ice formations in the Ross Sea, as photographed from the legendary exploratory ship Nimrod around the year 1907. Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew, who were on an expedition to Antarctica, would have marveled at this natural phenomena as they sailed through the frigid waters. Pancake ice, also known as tabular ice, is a type of ice that forms when large icebergs break apart and the resulting ice floes have a flat, pancake-like shape. The ice floes are typically large and uniform in size, with smooth, flat surfaces and straight edges. They create a mesmerizing pattern on the surface of the sea, resembling a vast expanse of pancakes or tablets. The Ross Sea, located in the southern part of the Antarctic continent, is known for its extreme weather conditions and unique natural wonders. The presence of pancake ice is a common occurrence in this region, particularly during the winter months when temperatures drop and the sea freezes over. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and the early days of Antarctic exploration. It serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring natural phenomena that can be found in the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth. The image also pays homage to the intrepid explorers who braved the harsh conditions to expand our knowledge and understanding of the world around us.
