66 Photographs from Early Polar Expeditions

Throughout history, humans have been obsessed with the icy poles of our planet, whether it’s for the advancement of science or because Santa Claus might live there. 


Luckily for us, many of the polar expeditions of the past brought designated photographers with them, so we can admire the stark scenery of the Arctic and Antarctic, and the camaraderie of the intrepid explorers who decided these were smart places to go even though it was only the 1800s.


As the weather starts to warm up for spring, let these old photos send a shiver down your spine, and be glad you’re in an office chair and not a cramped bunk bed in a ship’s hold.
