Antarctic Antarctica Exploration Medal Polar Pole Ponting Scott Sphere
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative page from The Sphere's special Scott of the Antarctic memorial number showcases a trio of significant moments from the ill-fated British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913) led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. At the top, the Scott Antarctic Medal, presented to the team upon their successful return from their first expedition in 1902, is proudly displayed. The medal, a historical testament to their achievements, bears the image of King Edward VII and the inscription 'Antarctic 1901-1904'. Below the medal, the intrepid explorer, Captain Scott, is captured in the act of surveying the icy terrain through a telescope. His unwavering focus and determination are palpable, as he braves the harsh conditions to gather vital data for scientific discovery. Accompanying Scott is his trusted photographer, Herbert Ponting, who documented the expedition through his lens. Ponting's images played a crucial role in raising public awareness and support for the expedition, as well as providing a visual record of the team's journey. The bottom half of the page is adorned with a beautifully drawn polar-themed border. The intricate design features skis, huskies, supplies, and equipment, all essential for survival in the inhospitable Antarctic environment. The border serves as a visual reminder of the challenges faced by Scott and his team during their groundbreaking exploration of the South Pole. This page from The Sphere's memorial number offers a poignant glimpse into the history of Antarctic exploration, showcasing the determination, courage, and perseverance of Captain Scott and his team.
