That sounds like pretty much the same collection of George Hurley's 
photographs that I saw at the National Geographic headquarters in 
Washington about 15 years ago. Really well worth seeing - and I thought 
one of the highlights was that on the way out from the exhibition 
gallery, one walked into a fairly small room containing the actual 
clinker-built open boat in which Shackleton and five of his crew sailed 
to South Georgia to organise rescue for the rest of the crew back on 
Elephant Island.
