Photographs: Antarctica and expeditions of various explorers (BAnQ)
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.
