A Photographer's Century Old Notebook Uncovered In The Antarctic
In 1911, Captain Scott and others, set out on the Terra Nova expedition– a fatal event that took the life of Scott and two other men. Now, more than a century later after the tragedy, the photographer’s notebook has washed out of the melting snow from the hut they used as their base in the Antarctic. The notebook was left behind when George Murray Levick– official photographer, zoologist and surgeon– alongside a few others from the expedition returned home safely, after Scott and two members had died in the tent on the Ross Ice Shelf in March of 1912.
Levick’s notebook titled Wellcome Photographic Exposure Record and Diary 1910, contains photographs he captured during the expedition, as well as pencil notes of dates, subjects and exposure details– information documented before the crew met face-to-face with a horrendous winter.
