This photo was taken by Roald Amundsen. Photographs are protected in Norway for 70 years after the death of the photographer. Amundsen died in 1928, so the photo was no longer protected in 1998. Mammux (talk) 14:55, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

According to the information block, this photo was first published by John Murray, London 1913, and the photographer was Olav Bjaaland (1863-1961). According to article 5(4)(a) of the Berne convention, "The country of origin shall be considered to be" "in the case of works first published in a country of the [Berne convention] Union, that country". So the country of origin is the UK, and the photo is under copyright until after 1961+70 = 2031. —teb728 t c 04:21, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
