The Great White South

H.G. Ponting was one of the early 20th century's finest camera artists.

It was for this reason that Robert Falcon Scott chose him, above hundreds of others, to record the Antarctica expedition's achievements.

He made a wise choice. Ponting's photographs have become some of the most famous and enduring images of the South Pole that the world has ever seen.

By turns atmospheric, grand, comical and peaceful, all of the photographs in this collection capture the power of the Great White Continent.
