Just back from seeing this at the Queen's Gallery. If you are in London well worth a visit. Brilliant photos of Scott, Shackleton and the Antartic, telling the story of their voyages.

Last night's Frozen Planet featured 'now' versions of some of the photos.

That sounds fabulous. One of my interests. Won't be able to get down to London, unfortunately though. I have a great book 'With Scott To The Pole - The Photographs Of Herbert Ponting', Amazing photographs, taken in harsh conditions ..>

Ponting's photos form the first part of the exhibition. There is a catalogue for the exhibition (one of those massive books they all now produce), which may be available on Amazon.

'Beloved' aka Jimmy Porter on here has a ticket for the Leonardo exhibition for January ... I wish I had enough annual leave to go with him. Have you seen the prices those tickets are changing hands for. I'd love to see the Scott work too.
