A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
一组新的照片集让一次失败的南极探险重新回到了人们的视线。

Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding - undoubtedly first-rate photo-joumalism if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survial. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
弗兰克·赫尔利的照片如果放在上周拍摄，无疑将是杰出的一流新闻摄影作品。实际上，这些照片是在1914年至1916年间拍摄的，大部分是在一次灾难性的海难之后，由一位没有生存希望的摄影师拍摄的。许多照片被储存在一个冰柜里，在受损的木船下，被冰冻的水覆盖。

The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Emest Shackleton and a smakk crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all,to the southernmost shore of antarctica’s Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled （雪橇） across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
那艘船是耐力号，一艘小型、紧凑、挪威制造的三桅帆船，原本计划搭载欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士和他的一小队水手和科学家，共27人，前往南极洲威德尔海的最南端。从那里，沙克尔顿计划用狗拉雪橇穿越大陆。这次旅程旨在实现比罗伯特·法尔康·斯科特船长在1912年初到达南极点并返回途中与他的四个伙伴一起死去的成就更多。

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clearin her forceful and well-researched story
正如作家卡罗琳·亚历山大在她有力且研究充分的故事中所明确指出的，

The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the Soum Foie in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
耐力号的冒险甚至在当时也是一项彻底的商业活动。斯科特的最后一次旅程，在他躺在帐篷里死于寒冷和饥饿时完成，吸引了全世界的想象力，一部为他制作的影片吸引了众多观众。沙克尔顿，一位曾经的英国商船海军军官，曾在1908年到达南极洲罗斯海的100英里内，他在1914年的航行前开始做生意，以从电影和静态摄影中赚钱。弗兰克·赫尔利，一位自信且有才华的澳大利亚摄影师，他了解南极洲，被雇来拍摄这些照片，其中大部分以前从未公开发表过。
