Ernest Shackleton, Trans Antarctic Expedition on the ship Endurance, 1914 - 1917.

1915 - Frank Hurley's picture of the Endurance trapped in the sea-ice of the Weddell Sea during the Antarctic night using about 20 flashes.

"Half blinded after the successive flashes, I lost my bearings amidst the hummocks, bumping my shins against projecting ice points and stumbling into deep snow drifts.”
