Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition

Ocean Camp on the floe, November to December 1915 Tents, sledges, boats and tethered dogs spread across the ice, with the men moving among them. After the crew abandoned Endurance on October 27, they set up this camp a mile and a half from the wreck, and on November 21 the ship sank below the ice. The picture shows home for the next weeks: everything they had saved from the ship, laid out on a slab of drifting sea ice.
