JUST LIKE THE REAL THING
The picture of the Endurance crew, taken by Frank Hurley on the ice in 1915, is one of the most enduring images of the ill-fated 1914-16 expedition.
The fine promotional shot below comes from the widely-praised film starring Kenneth Branagh as Shackleton, directed by BAFTA award-winning director Charles Sturridge.
Many of the key figures in the Endurance saga figured prominently in the film. Those in the picture include Matt Day as Frank Hurley (standing, far left); Pip Torrens as Dr. McIlroy (second from left); Celyn Jones as the stowaway Perce Blackborow (left of Branagh); Lorcan Cranitch as Frank Wild (kneeling with goggles, below Blackborow); Nicholas Rowe as Orde-Lees (standing, third from right); Kevin McNally as Worsley (front, second from left, below McIlroy), Mark McGann as Tom Crean (front, second from right) and Ken Drury as 'Chippy' McNish (front, between Worsley and Wild). The film also starred Phoebe Nicholls as Emily Shackleton, Robert Hardy as Sir James Caird, Elizabeth Spriggs and Corin Regrave.
