I’m always so sad seeing the Scott expedition photos knowing that these guys in this image were doomed. THe British crew would have felt so horrible spotting the Norwegian flag at the South Pole, after what they went through. I’ve read the accounts and went through these beautiful images, it’s so harrowing to know their fate.
How does this kind of ice formation even occur? Looks amazing!
I’d really want to climb the wall on the right with crampons, then slide back down on my arse
Or have something launch you up on an inner tube or one of those round sleds, then slide back down.
One of the first English books I’ve read. Needless to say, I preferred Roald Dahl.
Stunning shot composition, especially for the period.
Cracking lockscreen
Man, where do you get all your content, you are keeping this community strong yourself 😆
Mixture of places. Most I get from Rarehistoricalphotos. Many I get from Wikimedia commons. Some I google, when I have a piece of historical trivia I know but no picture to go with it. When I feel adventurous, I search online national archives, found some good Ethiopian pics in the Polish archives a while back.
That is awesome, your posts are gold mate :)
Thank you! I just try to keep a little life in these historical communities!
