Frank Hurley is one of the most amazing photographers. In addition to being good, he was good under the most trying circumstances. He was the photogapher for Shackleton's expedition to Antartica. But that wasn't enough.

Frank Hurley, “the mad photographer”

In 1917 James Francis Hurley (1885-1962) became the first offical photographer to the Australian Imperial Forces. When he arrived at the Western Front his rank was honorary captain, but the troops, seeing how he took risks to get his pictures, dubbed him “the mad photographer”.
