An invitation to join Rewa Rendall as she walks in the footsteps of Herbert George Ponting, expedition photographer for Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole 1910-1913. Rewa will use the same 19th-century processes and techniques to capture contemporary Antarctic explorers.

Together, we can continue the narrative of Antarctic exploration and inspire future generations through the preservation of our unique past.
