HERBERT GEORGE PONTING (1870-1935)
Furrows of frozen spray
Mar 1911RCIN 2580033
In early March, Ponting made a number of photographs of the ice furrows that formed at Cape Evans after a blizzard. Ponting wrote, ‘The spray from the waves … had frozen into very beautiful forms: ice furrows, as though the ice had been turned over by a gigantic plough’ (from The Great White South, 1922).
