By 1914, Norway had beaten England to both the North and South poles. Now, as war loomed in Europe, Shackleton determined to win for England another polar prize: a trek across Antarctica on foot. Hoping to partly finance the expedition through advance sale of photographic, movie, and story rights, Shackleton hired Hurley. </P> <P> By seeking beauty in icy bleakness, Hurley changed expedition photography forever. Instead of routinely recording day-by-day activities, Hurley chose to tell a dramatic story. He produced a saga that endures in his stunning photographs. </P> <SPAN CLASS="copyright"><P ALIGN="RIGHT"> <A HREF="map/01georgia.shtml">South Georgia</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/02entering.shtml">Entering Pack Ice</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/03packice.shtml">Heavy Pack Ice</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/04beset.shtml">Endurance Beset</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/05land.shtml">Men Loose Sight of Land</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/06abandon.shtml">Crew Abandon's Endurance</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/07sank.shtml">Endurance Sinks</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/08patience.shtml">Patience Camp</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/09elephant.shtml">Elephant Island</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/10caird.shtml">James Caird</A> <BR /><A HREF="map/11rescue.shtml">Rescue</A> Reference <A HREF="reference/hurley_bio.shtml"> Frank Hurley</A> <A HREF="reference/shackleton_bio.shtml">Sir Ernest Shackleton</A> <A HREF="reference/timeline.shtml">Timeline</A> <A HREF="reference/rgs.shtml"> Royal Geographical Society</A> <A HREF="reference/amnh.shtml">AMNH Exhibit</A> <A HREF="reference/bibliography.shtml">Bibliography</A> <A HREF="reference/wallpaper.shtml">Desktop Images</A> </P> </SPAN> <BR /> <TR> <TD><BR /> <SPAN CLASS="copyright"><P ALIGN="CENTER"> Photographs © 1999 The Royal Geographic Society.
