EDITORS COMMENTS
The Antarctic Drama: A Page from The Sphere (1913) This evocative page from The Sphere, a popular British illustrated weekly magazine, recounts the tragic tale of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole in 1911. The photograph at the heart of the article shows the inner tent used by Scott and his team, a poignant reminder of their final moments in the harsh Antarctic wilderness. Beneath the image, two inscriptions stand out. The first, left by Scott and his companions, reads, "For God, For Science, For England." This powerful statement encapsulates their unwavering commitment to their cause, even in the face of adversity. The second inscription, penned by Scott's wife, Kathleen Bruce, pays tribute to another brave soul who lost his life in the pursuit of scientific knowledge: Charles S. Rolls. Rolls, a pioneering aviator and co-founder of Rolls-Royce, died in a flying accident in 1910. The statue of Rolls, created by his wife Kathleen, is depicted in the bottom right corner of the page. The tragic loss of both Scott and Rolls underscores the inherent risks and sacrifices made by explorers in the name of scientific discovery and national pride. This historical page from The Sphere offers a poignant glimpse into the human drama that unfolded during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, a time when the lure of the unknown and the quest for knowledge drove men to the ends of the earth.
