EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Parhelia" takes us back to the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76, led by the intrepid George Strong Nares. Preserved in its original format as a lantern slide, this remarkable image showcases a stylized drawing of parhelia gracefully suspended over majestic icebergs. The ethereal beauty of this atmospheric optical phenomenon is truly awe-inspiring. As we delve into the composition, our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where a magnificent whale gracefully glides through the icy waters. Its presence adds an element of life and movement amidst the frozen landscape. The juxtaposition between these colossal ice formations and the gentle creature creates a sense of harmony within nature's grandeur. The parhelia itself steals our attention with its radiant splendor. Positioned on either side of the Sun, these bright spots create an otherworldly spectacle against the Arctic sky. This natural wonder serves as a reminder that even in such harsh conditions, there exists breathtaking beauty waiting to be discovered. Preserved by University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI), this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and exploration. It stands as a testament to those who ventured into uncharted territories in search of understanding and discovery. "Parhelia" invites us to reflect upon our place within nature's vast tapestry and marvel at its extraordinary phenomena. It reminds us that there is still so much left unseen and unknown beyond our familiar horizons. Let it inspire us to continue pushing boundaries, both scientific and personal, as we strive towards new frontiers yet unexplored.
