Captain Scott, British polar explorer, on the Terra Nova, c1900s-c1910s (1936)
Captain Scott (1868-1912) on the Terra Nova, c1900s-c1910s (1936). It was during the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) that Scott and four companions reached the South Pole, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed on their return by blizzards and running out of supplies, Scott and his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From His Majesty the King, 1910-1935, introduction by HW Wilson (Associated Newspapers Ltd, London, 1936). (Colorised black and white print)

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Scott, British polar explorer, stands on the deck of the Terra Nova during the early 1900s to 1910s. This print captures a moment in history during the renowned Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913). Captain Scott and his team embarked on a treacherous journey to reach the South Pole, only to discover that they had been beaten by Amundsen's Norwegian expedition. The disappointment was palpable as they faced blizzards and dwindling supplies on their return. In this image, Captain Scott is seen dressed in his navy uniform, donning an overcoat and bowler hat. His gaze reflects determination mixed with introspection as he inspects his ship against the vast backdrop of icy waters. The colorized print adds vibrancy to this poignant scene from a time when exploration held both triumphs and tragedies. Tragically, Captain Scott and his companions met their untimely demise at the end of March due to extreme conditions. It would be eight months before their bodies were discovered along with their diaries - testaments to their unwavering spirit amidst adversity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's unyielding quest for discovery and our ability to persevere even in the face of overwhelming odds. It immortalizes Captain Robert Falcon Scott as an emblematic figure who pushed boundaries in pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote regions.
