The images in this gallery are the property of Philip Waddingham, an expatriate Englishman living in France. He purchased them in the form of an old photo album.
The dating of the expedition and the expert comments and analysis of the images, came from author and expert Ian B.Hart.
This gallery of images was taken during a whaling expedition in the 1922-23 whaling season, and includes images taken at South Georgia & the South Shetlands.
