October 21-April 5, London
The exhibition Heart of the Great Alone: Scott, Shackleton and Antarctic Photography in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace will mark the centenary of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated journey to the South Pole.
For the first time, the Royal Collection brings together photographs that record Scott's Terra Nova expedition of 1910-13, as well as Ernest Shackleton's polar expedition on Endurance in 1914-17.
The dramatic Antarctic photographs were taken by George Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley and presented to King George V.
The exhibition also includes artefacts such as the flag given to Scott by Queen Alexandra, which he took to the Pole.
