This remarkable colour image from 1915 shows Sir Ernest Shackleton's crew beside their trapped ship 'The Endurance', weeks before it sank in the Antarctic.

The plate was taken by Frank Hurley 110 years ago during Shackletons doomed Trans-Antarctic Expedition, and is one of only a dozen to survive, as Hurley smashed all his other glass plates to prevent him being tempted to return to the doomed ship to retrieve them.

This is original colour and has not colourised. The image was cleaned & enhanced by Stuart Humphryes.

Colour image of a white, icy arctic (antarctic) landscape. The sunlight is low on the horizon and the cloudy sky is awash in blues and pinks. Five human figures can be seen in the distance. In the foreground we can see one end of a sail ship. The ship appears surrounded by ice, although some water appears visible just in front of the ship.
