Shackleton expedition pictures were ‘faked’

Anonymous Patron writes Shackleton expedition pictures were ‘faked’: Ernest Shackleton’s near-fatal Antarctic expedition of 1914, captured by Frank Hurley’s camera, now it has emerged that the iconic photographs, among the most valuable ever taken, are not all they seem. New evidence and testimony from a surviving eyewitness reveal that Hurley, the pioneering Australian cameraman and adventurer, fabricated scenes and doctored images. Hurley’s frequent use of ‘artistic licence’ was confirmed this weekend by the last remaining survivor of an Antarctic mission that was officially photographed and filmed by Hurley.”
