A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
一组新的照片让一次不成功的南极之旅复活了。
如果弗兰克·赫尔利的照片是上周拍摄的,那么它们将是杰出的——毫无疑问是一流的摄影新闻。事实上,他们是从1914年到1916年被枪杀的,其中大多数是在一场灾难性的海难之后(海滩),一个对生存没有合理期望的摄影师。许多图像被保存在受损木船的冷冻水中的冰柜中。
这艘船是“耐力号”,是一艘挪威建造的小型、紧凑的三艘船长,旨在将欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士和一小群海员和科学家(共27人)带到南极洲威德尔海的最南岸。从那时起,沙克尔顿想用狗拉雪橇强行通过(雪橇)横跨整个大陆。这次旅行旨在取得比罗伯特·法尔肯·斯科特上尉所做的更多的成就。斯科特船长于1912年初抵达南极,但在返回途中与四名同伴一起去世。
正如作家卡罗琳·亚历山大在她有力而深入研究的故事《耐力》中所表明的那样,即使在那时,冒险也是一种彻底的商业努力。斯科特的最后一次旅程,是躺在帐篷里死于寒冷和饥饿,引起了全世界的想象,一部为纪念他而拍摄的电影吸引了观众。沙克尔顿曾是一名英国商船队军官,1908年抵达南极100英里以内的地方,1914年出航前开始创业,从电影和静态摄影中赚钱。弗兰克·赫尔利(Frank Hurley)是一位自信而有天赋的澳大利亚摄影师,他了解南极,被雇来拍摄这些照片,其中大部分以前从未发表过。
