Frank Hurley was an Australian photographer, explorer, and filmmaker. Among his adventures were Antarctic expeditions including the legendary Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition under Ernest Shackleton (the aborted attempt to cross the continent) and the earlier, lesser-known, Australasian Antarctic Expedition, a successful scientific effort led by Douglas Mawson.
Here we see a portrait from Mawson expedition. The subject is of of meteorologist Cecil Madigan, who has returned to camp in the middle of a blizzard, resulting in dramatic ice buildup over his face and goggles.
