In this print titled "Round the Night Watchman's Fire" we are transported back in time to the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-17, led by the indomitable Ernest Shackleton. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Frank Hurley (1885-1962), whose lens captured both the beauty and challenges faced by these brave explorers. Set against a backdrop of icy desolation, a group of men huddle closely around a crackling fire that flickers with warmth and camaraderie.
