    On a postcard I own, with this scene as the front picture, someone has written with a pencil that it's Max Van Rysselberghe walking on the sea ice. However, I cannot confirm it's him, and as far as I know (from literature) he was not involved in any excursions. However, it's unlikely he would never have left 'Belgica' while she was stuck in the Bellingshausen Sea...

Biologen Emile Racovitza i "Belgica"s laboratorium

    I wonder if the photo was taken while Belgica was caught in the ice. I read on Wikipedia they were blocked for one year and they had to carve a waterway for the ship through thick layer of ice of 6 meter for a distance of 75 meters. Impressive !!
  • Nasjonalbiblioteket said:
    Yes, this picture was most likely taken while they were caught in the ice. If you look at the other pictures in the "Belgica"-set, you will see their attempt to carve their way out of the ice.
