"The First Swedish Expedition to Antarctica 1901-1904. Motif of a boat on the open sea". That is the caption for this photograph (here shown restored and colorized by me) in the Swedish Museum of Technology archive. The photo, probably shot from the expedition´s base ship the Antarctic, comes from the Nordenskjöld family. No other information is available.

The First Swedish Expedition to Antarctica was led by Otto Nordenskjöld (1869 - 1928), a geographer, geologist and explorer of Finland-Swedish descent. (The polar explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld was his maternal uncle.)
