EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the French Antarctic Expedition under the command of Captain J. S. C. Dumont d Urville in August 1833. The image, taken from a book titled "Shipping Wonders of the World" edited by Clarence Winchester, offers a glimpse into this historic voyage that took place during the 19th century. In this monochrome portrait, we see a group of determined men pulling on ropes to free their sailing ship from being stuck in an icy field. The harsh Antarctic environment is evident as they work tirelessly to navigate through the frozen waters. Their faces show determination and resilience as they wield pickaxes to break up the ice surrounding their vessel. The expedition's purpose was to explore waters that would later be explored by Sir James Clark Ross over five years starting in 1937. This photograph serves as a testament to the bravery and adventurous spirit of these early explorers who ventured into uncharted territories for scientific discovery. Through this image, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand the challenges faced by these French sailors amidst breathtaking icy landscapes. It stands as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our enduring fascination with exploring new frontiers.
