Clip description
Frank Hurley filmed and photographed one of the first expeditions to the Antarctic in 1913. Mike Gray of the Fox Talbot Museum and Joanna Wright of the Royal Geographical Society comment on the significance of the work.
Curator’s notes
Hurley created some memorable films from his time in Antarctica, bringing a real sense of drama and storytelling to what were some of Australia’s very first commercial documentaries. The footage from the blizzard is still extraordinary.
