Currently on display at Liverpools Maritime Museum are photographs from Ernest Shakletons 1914 Artic Expedition. Frank Hurley was the official photographer on the ship and 150 of his photographs are featured in the exhibition. I was blown away by the collection, especially the shots taken during the 10 months the boat, The Endurance, was trapped in ice) and how he was able to battle the fierce weather conditions to capture the harsh reality of the Antarctic.
After this he went on to capture images of WW1 and WW2, taking considerable risks to photograph his subjects.
