HERBERT GEORGE PONTING (1870-1935)

The Terra Nova in McMurdo Sound

7 Jan 1911

RCIN 2580008

Ponting took this view of the Terra Nova while standing on the shifting ice floes. The ship had reached Antarctica only a few days previously and Ponting was enthusiastically exploring the area. He was impressed by the ice formations in the foreground, which show a berg in the final stages of melting.
