<i>South</i> is one of the greatest true-to-life adventure stories ever written. I heard a few years back some famous underwater explorer was contemplating diving to the wreck of the <i>Endurance</i>. Hurley left behind a number of glass plate negatives, which still may be salvageable, supposedly.
Excellent images. For anyone even remotely interested in the topic, the film “South”, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0198559/" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0198559/</a>, is comprised of hauntingly awesome actual video footage of the ill-fated 1914-1916 voyage. I believe there's also an enhanced version of the material (with re-enactments &c.) but I haven't seen that one.
