Still Life
The Still Life exhibition is based on renowned photographer Jane Ussher’s evocative series of images of Scott and Shackleton’s historic expedition bases published in the acclaimed book Still Life: Inside the Antarctic Huts of Scott and Shackleton. These iconic structures, now cared for by Antarctic Heritage Trust, are associated with some of the most inspirational and harrowing stories in polar history. The exhibition is not currently on display.
