EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the remarkable figure of Dr Edward Atkinson amidst his laboratory in the early 20th century. As a key member of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition to Antarctica, Dr Atkinson played a crucial role not only as the expeditions' doctor but also as its leader after Scott's tragic disappearance. In this image, we witness Dr Atkinson surrounded by an array of laboratory equipment and scientific instruments. His focused expression reflects both his dedication to medical research and his unwavering commitment to exploring uncharted territories. The pipe clenched between his teeth adds a touch of character and hints at moments of respite during long hours spent working tirelessly for the success of the mission. Herbert Ponting, renowned for capturing breathtaking images during polar expeditions, skillfully portrays Dr Atkinson's profession with great attention to detail.
