For the past 100 years, a box of never-before-seen negatives has been preserved in a block of ice in Antarctica. Recently, Conservators of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust came across the 22 exposed, but unprocessed, cellulose nitrate negatives during an attempt to restore an old exploration hut.

Did you hear about the guy who got locked in his dark room for two weeks? He died of exposure. Laugh all you want. It wasn’t a very pretty picture.
