Mark Cottle - A Photographic Odyssey: Shackleton's 'Endurance' Expedition Captured on Camera
On Ernest Shackleton’s third Antarctic expedition in 1914, his ship, the Endurance, was trapped in pack ice.
After five months on the ice, the ship’s company rowed to remote Elephant Island. Shackleton then sailed over 800 miles to South Georgia, returning over 3 months later to rescue his stranded crew. Australian Frank Hurley was the expedition’s official photographer.
His images capture the amazing landscapes within which this remarkable human drama unfolded.
ArtsNational (formerly ADFAS) Societies present a series of quality lectures by leading UK and Australian experts. Each lecture is followed by light refreshments and a convivial social forum.
Events will take place at the Heritage Room, Tamworth Community Event Centre, 3 Darling Street, Tamworth, unless otherwise indicated. Meet at 5:45pm for 6:00pm start.
