i don't normally blog about books, but I just had to share an awe inspiring book i recently bought. Jane Ussher's, Still Life. Inside the Antarctic Huts of Scott and Shackleton, is an unforgettable photographic study of the interiors of three Antactic huts that served as expedition bases for Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton during the early 20th century.
these historic huts are an archaeological treasure trove of beautifully decayed in situ objects of these explorers. one hundred years on, a Emperor Penguin specimen still left on Scott's chart table, canvas pants covered with expedition grime still hanging over wires and conserved provisions lined on shelves. it's just an incredible time capsule.
if you stumble upon this book have a look through it, you will be humbled, i promise.
