“…This representation is informed by various cultural inputs, including diaries, literature, film, music, photography and theatre. Scholars such as Philpott & Leane (2016), Glasberg (2012) and Yusoff (2007) have examined representations of Antarctica across a range of media, teasing out the common associations and themes, including heroism, extremity, fragility and transformation. Berger (2005, p.166) explains how ‘in scholarly discourse about works of art of all kinds, the subjects of analysis are generally referred to as texts.’ In the Antarctic context, primary texts are also powerful; Robert Falcon Scott's diaries continue to capture imaginations, while Frank Hurley's iconic 1912 photograph of Mawson's men bent double as they battled the blizzard at Cape Dennison neatly encapsulates the idea of men taking on nature.…”
