DescriptionDog team resting by iceberg, Ponting, 1911.jpg | Photographed in Spring 1911, a sledge team resting beneath the Barne Glacier, which slopes down from Mount Erebus towards the west coast of Ross Island. In The Great White Ponting noted his thoughts on facing the glacier, "The prospect that opened out was of arresting grandeur... It was not so much the austere beauty of the scene that so dominated me, as its utter desolation, and its intense and wholly indescribable loneliness. I stood awhile beneath the shivering stars, with every sense alert, striving to detect some sound; but the stillness about me was profound" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
