These photographs, which range from 1913 to 1941 and each of which is accompanied by a typed card describing the circumstances surrounding its creation, relate to the Antarctic frenzy that swept the world at the turn of the 20th century. Several photographs show the American expedition led by the United States Antarctic Service and coordinated by Admiral Richard E. Byrd during World War II. It includes photographs of Robert Falcon Scott’s 1910-1913 Southern Expedition, which was carried out for the purposes of scientific research and geographic explorations of the South Pole.
