EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the mesmerizing sight of sea-ice breaking up in McMurdo Sound along the coast of Ross Island in 1911. The meticulous detail study by Herbert Ponting, a renowned English photographer, showcases the raw beauty and power of nature as ice floes give way to reveal the icy waters beneath.
In this composition, three Skua Gulls are strategically placed using seal skins to attract them to specific spots within the frame. The presence of these birds adds a sense of movement and life to an otherwise frozen landscape, highlighting the delicate balance between stillness and activity in Antarctica's harsh environment.
The typed caption on the print reads 'Detail of sea-ice breaking up. Jan. 9th 1911,' providing a glimpse into the exact moment captured by Ponting over a century ago. This image serves as a timeless reminder of both the fragility and resilience of our planet's polar regions, urging us to appreciate and protect these remote landscapes for generations to come.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are transported back in time to witness nature's ever-changing spectacle unfold before our eyes with awe-inspiring clarity and precision.
