Abstract
H.G. Ponting was the official photographer on Capt. Scott’s last expedition. An
enigmatic man, he was already an international success before Antarctica, and had
fashioned for himself a world photographer persona which was deeply important to
him. He had difficulty, however, in sustaining close relationships. In the closed
environment of Antarctica, that construction of identity was reinforced, his skills
were developed to their highest point, and personal and professional identities
merged further. This paper examines the literature, correspondence and Ponting
photographs to throw further light on the man and his outstanding work.
