    Negatives saved from Shackleton’s Antarctic trip reveal hidden details

    Frank Hurley, the official photographer on Shackleton's Antarctic expedition, saved 120 glass-plate negatives after the ship Endurance became trapped in ice in 1915. Hurley later smashed 400 negatives to lighten lifeboats, while the crew survived months on ice before being rescued. The Royal Geographical Society has published surviving photos from the expedition.
