    Simply stunning to see these shots hundred years after the fact. They seem so fresh and clear and considering the conditions and equipment there and then, I think they are humbling for today's photographers.

    @J e n s - considering the conditions, the equipment and the downright enormous gloves I have to agree - they're almost miraculous. -- Courtney

    great proportion. I didn't realize how big it actually looked until i saw the ant-sized people on the bottom. Took my breath away.

    What a wonderful photo. The ordeals that these men went through to try to be the first to the South Pole. Remarkable.

    Are you certain about the date 1911? After the 1901-1904 British National Antarctic Expedition, Discovery was sold to Hudson's Bay Company, which used her as a cargo vessel until 1916. The image does appear to be Discovery, but I wonder about that date.
