20th Century: 1910--1920 Decade
Test of Endurance (1914)
In the frigid winter of 1914, two dozen exploreers set sail for Antarctica abouard the Endurance, attempting to be the first ones to cross the unexplored continent. For 22 months, photographer Frank Hurley documented their ordeal and even became somewhat of an explorer himself through the journey. He climbed up the ship's treacherous mast to photograph wildlife and trekked across shaky sheets of ice to take his striking photos. An online journey takes you through the voyage, accoompanied by Hurley's pictures.
