    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Exergy, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    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.

    Captain Barbosa really got around in those early years. Ship looks better than the Black Pearl.

    these are the real hard men of whom legend was made. what, apart from two wars of slaughter, have we done since? Oh yeah, Armstrong got us (by the skin of his highly skilled teeth) to the Moon. so what is next?

    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.
