Disney’s documentary Endurance celebrates the remarkable achievement of Sir Ernest Shackleton, the British explorer who, in 1914, attempted the first trans-antarctic crossing, only to fall foul of brutal weather and ice. Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, was lost in the effort, but the Englishman’s great achievement was saving the lives of all 27 Endurance crew members despite a treacherous 800-mile trek across sea and snow. Among that crew was the Australian photographer and cinematographer Frank Hurley, who was contracted to produce moving and still images to celebrate and commemorate the adventure.
