100-year-old
negatives have been discovered in Antarctic. They where in a small box of
22 exposed but unprocessed photographic negatives, frozen in a solid block of
ice for nearly one hundred years. The Box was one of the many supply
depots Robert Falcon Scott established for his doomed Terre Nova Expedition to
the South Pole (1910-1913).
The hut was used next by
the Ross Sea Party of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-1917 Imperial
Trans-Antarctic Expedition. It is believed that this party left the undeveloped
negatives.
What
an incredible story!
