PASSAGE NINETY-SEVEN

Old photos

1.A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life. 

2.Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo- journalism—if they had been made last week.  

3.In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck, by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.  

4.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

5.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea.  

6.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled across the continent.  

7.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.  

8.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back. 

9.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well - researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.  

10.Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.  

11.Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.  

12.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

老照片

1.一组新的照片将一次不成功的南极之旅带回了生活。

2.弗兰克·赫尔利的照片如果是上个星期拍的，无疑是一流的新闻摄影作品。

3.事实上，这些照片是从1914年到1916年拍摄的，其中大部分是在一场灾难性的海难之后拍摄的，拍摄者是一个对生存没有合理期望的摄影师。

4.许多照片都储存在受损木船的冰柜里，在冰水下。

5.这艘船名叫“耐力号”，是一艘小巧紧凑、由挪威人建造的三桅船，它的目的是载着欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士和一小群海员和科学家，共27人，前往南极洲威德尔海的最南端。

6.从那时起，沙克尔顿就想用狗拉的雪橇强行穿越欧洲大陆。

7.这次旅行的目的是取得比罗伯特·法尔肯·斯科特船长所做的更多的成就。

8.斯科特船长于1912年初到达南极点，但在返回途中与他的四个同伴一起死亡。

9.正如作家卡洛琳·亚历山大在她强有力的、经过充分研究的故事《耐力》中明确指出的那样，即使在当时，冒险也完全是一种商业活动。

10.斯科特的最后一次旅行是在他躺在帐篷里被寒冷和饥饿折磨的时候完成的，这引起了全世界的想象，一部以他的名义制作的电影吸引了很多人。

11.沙克尔顿曾是英国商船队的一名军官，他在1908年到达了距离南极不到100英里的地方，在1914年航行之前，他开始了自己的生意，以电影和静物摄影为生。

12.弗兰克·赫尔利是一位自信而有天赋的澳大利亚摄影师，他了解南极，他被雇来拍摄这些照片，其中大部分照片以前从未发表过。
