Her sightless eyes turned to the red sky
And the restlessly seeking birds."
(from Katherine Mansfield, 'Across the Red Sky')

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
