Sledging, 1911, (1913). Artist: Edward Wilson
Sledging, 1911, (1913). 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 II. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sledging, 1911" and created by artist Edward Wilson in 1913, offers a glimpse into the final expedition of renowned British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Departing from London on 1 June 1910, the Terra Nova Expedition aimed to conquer the South Pole while continuing important scientific research initiated during Scott's earlier Discovery Expedition. Accompanied by a diverse team including geologists, zoologists, surgeons, photographers, engineers, ski experts, meteorologists and physicists among others; Scott was determined to lead his crew to unprecedented discoveries. However, upon reaching their destination on 17 January 1912 after enduring treacherous blizzards and dwindling supplies; they were met with crushing disappointment as Norwegian explorer Amundsen had already triumphed over them a month prior. Tragically delayed and facing insurmountable challenges ahead of them; Scott along with Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans succumbed to the harsh conditions at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were discovered eight months later. The photograph captures an intimate moment during this fateful journey - sledging through vast icy landscapes that stretch endlessly before them. It serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination exhibited by these explorers in their quest for knowledge amidst unforgiving terrain. Preserved within "Scotts Last Expedition". Volume II published in London in 1913 by Smith Elder & Co. , this image stands as a testament to human resilience while honoring those who sacrificed everything for scientific advancement.
