[edit] Summary

Description

In February w:1899, Borchgrevink's party of Southern Cross Expedition landed at w:Cape Adare - the northeastern most w:peninsula in w:Victoria Land, w:East Antarctica,where they built a prefabricated hut (the first human structure ever built on the Antarctic continent). They wintered at w:Cape Adare and were picked up in January of w:1890 by Southern Cross ship.
At the image you could see a drawing above Kolbein Ellefsen's bed in Borchgrevink's w:Cape Adare Hut. Ellefsen was one of the members of the Southern Cross Expedition. He was a good sailor and also the Cook on the expedition and a talented artist. While looking at the image, please, try to imagine a young man (Kolbein Ellefsen was in his yearly twenties) during unforgiving w:Polar night, not knowing what's going to happened next (one of the expedition members did not make it), who used a w: Kerosene lamp or a candle with its ghostly light to draw portrait of a beautiful woman above his bed. The image was taken in January of 2001.
