Destination Inspiration: {El Cartligto, Spain}

{..."El Carligto is a private and secluded 3.5 hectare (10 acre) country estate perched in the mountains of Andalucia (Andalusia), near Malaga, Spain... Set atop a private hill, bordering an Andalucian mountain nature reserve and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, El Carligto is a rustic luxury villa retreat and an exclusive destination in itself... El Carligto is an ideal base from which to explore the mountains and beaches, the cities of Malaga, Granada, Cordoba and Seville or the quaint local whitewashed villages so immersed in the region’s Moorish history."}

Antarctica in Color, 1915

These are Frank Hurley’s famous early colour photographs of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ill-fated ‘Endurance’ voyage, as part of the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914-1917. Hurley was the official photographer on the expedition.

Early in 1915, their ship ‘Endurance’ became inexorably trapped in the Antarctic ice. Hurley managed to salvage the photographic plates by diving into mushy ice-water inside the sinking ship in October 1915.
