EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on Mid-Winter Day, June 21st, 1911, we are transported back in time to Cape Evans where Captain Scott's team is gathered in the Men's Quarters. This rare moment of respite and celebration amidst their arduous Antarctic expedition showcases the camaraderie and resilience of these brave explorers. As they enjoy a well-deserved holiday from their grueling journey, the men revel in good food and drink. The atmosphere is filled with mirth as one member of the team skillfully entertains his comrades with a balalaika performance. In the background stands a gramophone, providing additional musical accompaniment to this joyous occasion. This image captures not only a scene of relaxation but also serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by Captain Scott and his crew during their ill-fated quest for the South Pole. Their determination shines through despite knowing that victory had slipped away from them. The photograph belongs to John Player & Sons cigarette card series Polar Exploration from 1916. It offers us an intimate glimpse into history while highlighting themes such as exploration, failure, and perseverance. Let us reflect upon these courageous individuals who ventured into uncharted territories in pursuit of knowledge and discovery during this wintry season over a century ago.
