MisterFoley: What a nice pic! From where did you get it? Is it the Endurance of Shackleton? Its a pitty, that the time of sailing ships and exploration is gone. UON Library,University of Newcastle, Australia: Many thanks, MisterFoley. Glad you like it - it's one of our favourites, too. The ship is the RSS Discovery and the shot was taken during Douglas Mawson's 2nd British Australian (and) New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE), 22 November 1930 - 19 March 1931. You can read more about this expedition on our blog. MisterFoley: Welcome! Thank you for the link to the expedition!
