Birdie Bowers Reading The Thermometer on the Ramp, June 6th, 1911, (1913). Artist
Birdie Bowers Reading The Thermometer on the Ramp, June 6th, 1911, (1913). Lieutenant Henry Birdie Bowers (1883-1912) died on the way back from the South Pole with Scott and Wilson. The final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), included a geologist, a zoologist, a surgeon, a photographer, an engineer, a ski expert, a meteorologist and a physicist among others. Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901-04. He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Scott, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From Scotts Last Expedition, Volume I. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

Birdie Bowers Reading The Thermometer on the Ramp, June 6th, 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph capturing Lieutenant Henry Birdie Bowers during the Terra Nova Expedition. This expedition was led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott and aimed to explore the uncharted territories of Antarctica while conducting scientific research. In this image, Bowers can be seen meticulously reading the thermometer on the ramp. His dedication to recording accurate meteorological data showcases his commitment to advancing scientific knowledge in extreme conditions. Alongside him are his fellow explorers: Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, and Petty Officer Edgar Evans. Tragically, this brave team's journey took a devastating turn as they reached their ultimate goal - the South Pole - only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had already beaten them there. Despite facing blizzards and dwindling supplies on their return journey, Scott and his companions pressed forward with unwavering determination. Sadly, Lieutenant Henry Birdie Bowers met an untimely demise during their arduous trek back from the South Pole. Their bodies were eventually discovered eight months later along with their diaries containing invaluable records of their heroic efforts. This photograph serves as a testament to these courageous men who sacrificed everything in pursuit of scientific discovery and exploration in one of Earth's harshest environments. It stands as a reminder of both humanity's indomitable spirit and our fragile existence within nature's unforgiving grasp.
