EDITORS COMMENTS

This print titled "Bi-weekly ablutions of The Ritz" takes us back in time to the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition led by the legendary Ernest Shackleton in 1914-17. Captured by the talented photographer Frank Hurley, this image is now housed at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. In this frozen landscape, far from civilization and modern amenities, a group of brave explorers find solace and respite amidst their arduous journey. The photograph showcases a unique moment when these courageous men engage in their bi-weekly ritual - their much-needed ablutions. The scene unfolds with an air of camaraderie as they gather around a makeshift washing area dubbed "The Ritz". Despite being surrounded by icy conditions and harsh winds, there is an undeniable sense of unity among them. They are determined to maintain some semblance of normalcy even in this unforgiving environment. Hurley's expert composition allows us to witness every detail: steam rising from heated water containers, soap suds floating mid-air, and faces reflecting both exhaustion and determination. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst extreme circumstances, humanity finds ways to adapt and persevere. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into the extraordinary lives of these polar pioneers who pushed boundaries beyond imagination. Their unwavering spirit continues to inspire generations today.
