Hurley Frank Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Published by the National Library of Australia. Frank Hurley recognised his passion for photography early, becoming "a complete slave to the black box". For Hurley, exploration and image-making went hand in hand. This publication invites readers to join him on his "amazing adventures" in the Antarctic, Flanders during World War I, Papua New Guinea, and the Middle East.

This captivating record of Shackleton's legendary Antarctic expedition, immortalized by pioneering photographer Frank Hurley, showcases the incredible endurance displayed during the 1914-1917 journey. Hurley's powerful images, appearing together for the first time in print, represent a remarkable body of photojournalism created under extreme conditions. More than mere visual documentation, these images capture the life-and-death drama set against a breathtaking and harsh arctic landscape. The expedition began in the summer of 1914, with Shackleton and his crew aiming to cross Antarctica from coast to coast via the South Pole. After five months, they reached the Weddell Sea, only to have their ship, the Endurance, become trapped in ice. Following nine months of isolation, the ship was crushed, leaving the crew stranded on drifting ice floes. Their survival story is one of the most extraordinary in exploration history. After five months on the ice, they escaped in lifeboats, reaching the desolate Elephant Island, where rescue seemed impossible. Shackleton and five others embarked on an 850-mile journey to South Georgia Island, enduring fierce seas in an open lifeboat. Miraculously, they reached their destination, secured help, and after three months and three failed attempts, Shackleton returned to rescue all his men. This book reproduces nearly 500 photographs, including previously unpublished color images, alongside diary ex

Was als erste Durchquerung des antarktischen Kontinents geplant war, wurde zu einer der dramatischsten Überlebensgeschichten in der Geschichte der Antarktis-Expedition. Nachdem Sir E. Shackletons Schiff "Endurance" vom Packeis zerdrückt wurde, trieben die 27 Expeditionsteilnehmer fünf Monate lang auf Eisschollen nach Norden, bis sie eine Insel erreichten. Mit einigen Männern machte sich Shackleton dann in einem Ruderboot auf, um Hilfe zu holen. Die anderen, unter ihnen Frank Hurley, blieben am Ufer zurück. Sie ernährten sich von Seehunden und Pinguinen und warteten monatelang auf den Tag der Rettung..... (Amazon.de)
