EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the indomitable spirit of adventure and resilience as British explorers Captain Buchanan, Ali the camel, Sakari (Kano), and Feri N Gashi pause in their journey across the vast and unforgiving Sahara Desert in 1925. Having embarked on their expedition from West Africa, they had already spent sixteen grueling months traversing the arid expanse, braving extreme temperatures, scarce water sources, and the challenges of navigating the treacherous terrain. Captain Buchanan, leading the team, is seen here in the heart of Mali, a country rich in history and culture, with his determined gaze fixed on the horizon. Standing proudly beside him is Ali, the indispensable camel, whose tireless strength and endurance carried the team through the desert's relentless sands. Sakari (Kano) and Feri N Gashi, both native to the region, played essential roles in the expedition, providing invaluable knowledge and expertise in navigating the desert and interacting with local communities. Together, they formed a cohesive team that defied the odds and reached Algiers, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of exploration history. This photograph is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and the power of camaraderie in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history of African exploration and the indomitable spirit of those who dared to venture into the unknown.
