Frank Hurley

Frank Hurley photographing under the bows of Endurance, 1915 Hurley stands at his tripod on the broken ice, dwarfed by the rimed bow and rigging of the trapped ship. It is another Paget color plate, so the blue of the sky and the white frost read as they did that day. The scale is the point: one man and a camera against the hull that the pressure would later crush.
