HAMBURG.-
With the exhibition Herbert G. Ponting:
The Conquest of the South Pole the Flo Peters Gallery presents
photographs of
historic significance and incomparable suspense. In 1910 Captain Robert
Falcon
Scott set sail under the British Flag aboard the research ship Terra
Nova aiming
to be the first man to conquest the South Pole. Also part of
the crew
was a photographer and cameraman by the name of Herbert G. Ponting. With
his
photographs of the expedition and its participants he not only left a
unique
document about the beginnings of polar exploration but also lets the
posterity
be part of one of the last great adventures of human discovery.
