EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by renowned photographer Reginald Skelton during the British National Antarctic Expedition 1901-04, we are transported to a frozen world of immense beauty and unyielding challenges. The image showcases two brave men, Koettlitz and Delbridge, as they engage in the arduous task of dragging for sea weed on the vast expanse of ice. As our gaze is drawn towards these intrepid explorers, we witness their determination etched upon their faces amidst the harsh backdrop of snow-covered terrain. Standing side by side, they epitomize resilience in the face of adversity. With unwavering strength and unity, they pull on a rope with all their might - a symbol of human tenacity against nature's formidable forces. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity and thirst for discovery. It reminds us that even in Earth's most extreme environments, there exists an innate desire within us to unravel its mysteries. This remarkable image is housed at the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI), part of the prestigious University of Cambridge. As custodians of such invaluable historical artifacts from polar expeditions like this one led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott aboard Discovery ship, SPRI plays an integral role in preserving humanity's collective memory while fostering cutting-edge research into polar science. Through this evocative snapshot from over a century ago, we are invited to reflect upon our own capacity for exploration and innovation. It serves as both an homage to those who paved the way for scientific advancement in Antarctica and an inspiration for future generations to continue pushing boundaries beyond what was once thought possible.
