EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1873 during the historic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Fuernas Hot Springs in the Azores. The Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal in the mid-Atlantic Ocean, were a popular stop for explorers and sailors due to their strategic location and natural wonders. The H.M.S. Challenger, funded by the British Government for scientific purposes, was the first expedition to carry an official photographer. The vessel embarked on an extensive journey from 1872 to 1876, making groundbreaking discoveries in oceanography, geology, and biology. In this image, we see a serene daytime scene at Fuernas Hot Springs, with the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The clear blue waters of the spring contrast beautifully with the lush greenery and the rugged terrain of the surrounding hills. The steam rising from the hot spring adds an ethereal quality to the image, as if transporting us to another world. The Victorian era, characterized by a sense of discovery and exploration, is brought to life in this photograph. The 19th century was a time of great advancements in science and technology, and the H.M.S. Challenger expedition played a significant role in expanding human knowledge of the natural world. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and wonder of the Azores, as well as the spirit of discovery that drove the H.M.S. Challenger expedition. It invites us to appreciate the natural world and the wonders that lie beyond our shores.
