This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Capping off the year with yet another prehistoric map:
Australia during the Pleistocene ice age, an ancient land of bizarre Megafauna, as seen in the most recent season of Prehistoric Planet.
See you all in 2026, happy new year! : )

Made a couple of Earth shots for the latest PBS eons video, including the still in the thumbnail here.
Represents Greenland 2 million years ago.
There is a bigger Eons project which I was more heavily involved with, set to come out next spring, I believe.
