That's a photo that Frank Hurley took on his (nearly doomed) antarctic adventure with Ernest Shackleton. You can find scads more photos here: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/features/endurance/

Wow, thanks for the info! What an amazing story, and photos.

It really is. Hurley is one of my favorite photographers of all time; his stuff just captured the essence of the time so well!
