Photographs of ill-fated Antarctic mission seen for first time after scientists develop century-old box of negatives found preserved in the ice of Captain Scott's hut

Ross Sea Party
Conservators in the Antarctic have discovered a box full of negatives taken by the ill-fated Ross Sea Party between 1914 and 1917, preserved in ice. A team from the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust restoring an old exploration base camp discovered the clumped-together cellulose nitrate negatives in a small box in Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Cape Evans hut.
