The photographer behind this remarkable image is John Donald Morrison, who captured this moment during the Antarctic Relief Expeditions of 1902-04. The photograph transports us to a serene lake situated on Cape Royds, where nature's grandeur unfolds before our eyes. As we gaze across the tranquil waters, our attention is drawn towards a group of figures in the distance. Among them is Captain Colbeck and his party, their presence lending scale to the vastness of this icy landscape.
