  dramatic, and all those penguins in their dress-suits who do not care....

• Herbert Harper said:

  Great title. There is a metaphor there somewhere.

• ozpenguin99 said:

  This is similar to another Frank Hurley photograph in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. It would have been taken in December 1911, not 17 September 2008 :-)

  Wow. That's astounding.

AURORA berthed in Sydney Harbour, Circular Quay West, before Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic expedition

  Terrific photo! At Circular Quay West, where the Overseas Passenger Terminal now is. About 11/12/1914 according to the SMH of that date - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15556912 . Amused to see the Shell Benzine delivered by horses!

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  beachcomber australia We were very excited when we found this one, particularly as it hadn't yet been catalogued as AURORA! So now we can add to our Antarctic images. We were also amused to see Shell take advantage of an advertising opportunity 1914-style :)

  Can anyone remember who it was who was left in charge of the Aurora & the Ross Sea party while Shackleton & his party in the Endurance were over in the Weddell Sea direction?

• Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:

  Hi tumpshy! Some good info on Ross Sea Party personnel over at Antarcticguide.com: www.antarcticguide.com/about-antarctica/antarctic-history...
