CONTINUITY: Original Autochrome Colour Photos from Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition
Sir Ernest Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic expedition of 1914–1917 is considered to be the last major expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. I have Babelised these autochrome images taken on that expedition by Frank Hurley 106 years ago. They are not colourised. pic.twitter.com/nt1kt7HRT0
