Captain Scott's
Antarctic Expedition 1910-1913
The Photographs of Herbert
Ponting
The British Antarctic (Terra
Nova) Expedition, 1910-1913, on
which Captain Robert Falcon
Scott and four of his companions
perished whilst returning from
the South Pole, is among the
most important early expeditions
to the Antarctic. The
photographs of the endeavour
taken by Herbert Ponting,
constitute one of the most
compelling visual records in the
history of exploration.
Thanks to a collaboration
between Salto Ulbeek publishers
and the Scott Polar Research
Institute, a selection of
Ponting’s Antarctic photographs
are presented for the first time
using the platinum printing
process, a photographic
technique renowned for its
exceptional aesthetic and
archival properties.
