When I saw the image [posted above], I thought that the stack of trays looked like photographer’s developer trays. I was thrilled to discover that they are! “Apart from Scott himself, the only member of the 25-man team with his own space was expedition photographer Herbert Ponting, whose darkroom-cum-bedroom is still intact. Scott was the first explorer to realise the importance of photography in wooing the newly emerging newspaper industry.”
