There is old memory in snow

Old ice, old hauntings. Twenty-two hitherto unknown, unprocessed negatives from the Shackleton expedition (Ross Sea Party, 1914–17), discovered in an exploration hut. They are truly amazing. The damage especially makes them look like the photography of ghosts.

Wow. Place hasn't changed a bit. Just missing the smell: cold-crisp and lanolin, paper and sacking. Mostly lanolin.
(I should probably put my photos of there up on my Flickr one of these days).
