EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the frostbitten hand of Surgeon Edward Atkinson, a prominent figure in the Terra Nova Antarctic Expedition led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott from 1910 to 1913. Atkinson, born in 1881, was a Royal Naval surgeon and an essential member of the scientific staff on this fateful journey. During his tenure at the expedition's base at Cape Evans in 1912, he led the party that discovered the tent containing the bodies of Scott, Edgar "Birdie" Evans, and Edward Wilson. The swollen hand in this photograph is a poignant reminder of the extreme conditions the explorers faced during their time in Antarctica. Frostbite, a common affliction in such frigid environments, causes the skin and underlying tissues to freeze, resulting in blisters and tissue damage. The hand's discoloration and blisters are a stark contrast to the pristine, untouched snowy landscape surrounding the expedition. Atkinson's role in the Terra Nova Expedition was significant, as he not only contributed to the scientific discoveries made during the mission but also played a crucial part in the tragic outcome. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of exploration and the harsh realities of the Antarctic environment.
