A man with spectacles and a blue hat with ear flaps, in blue/grey neck gaiter and blue/grey extreme weather gear, in profile, making notes in the interior of Shackleton's Cape Royds hut on Ross Island in the Antarctic. In the background there are shelves (attached to wood-panelled walls) on which there are tins and jars from Shackleton's expedition in 1909.
