Feburary 8th lecture – a change to the published programme – in KENWYN THEATRE
SHACKLETON’S ENDURANCE EXPEDITION; A PHOTO ESSAY : Frank Hurley, one of the great photographers of the 20th century, was the expedition’s official photographer. His photographs are a visual narrative of an epic journey which capture with great artistry new and amazing landscapes within which a remarkable human drama is played out. The aim of the lecture is to capture Hurley’s achievements as a photographer of the Antarctic in the first flush of human contact when it was still essentially terra Incognita.
