Almost one hundred years after a group of explorers set out across the frozen landscape of Antarctica to set up supply depots for famed explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, a box of 22 never-before-seen exposed but unprocessed negatives taken by the group’s photographer has been unearthed in one of those shacks, preserved in a block of ice.

No negatives 100 years from now from your smarttelephones, folks! Prepare to be completely forgotten and lost to history of Western Civilization!

My guess is what they mean by unprocessed is that the negatives had not been printed. I do not believe the latent image would remain for 100 years. Then again maybe the cold does keep them.
I know I found a roll of 120 film at my grandmothers which had been lying on top of a safe for over 10 years. I had it processed and there was just the faintest image on two of them and the rest were totally blank.
