Back to Civilisation. The Second in Command at Lyttelton
Commander Evans, the Second in Command of the British Antarctic expedition of Captain Scott, pictured with the two men who saved his life when he was struck down with scurvy. Evans had a very severe journey from the polar plateau. Owing to the party being one man short the work of hauling the sledge taxed his strength, which was weakened by Lieutenant Evans developing scurvy. His condition daily became more serious until he was unable to move forward any further. Crean set out alone to cover thirty miles to Discovery Hut, where he succeeded in obtaining a relief party. Lashley remained behind to nurse his commanding officer

Back to Civilisation: A Testament to Courage and Survival in the Antarctic This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of polar exploration, as Commander Evans, the Second in Command of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition, is reunited with his saviors, Tom Crean and Frank Wild, upon their return to Discovery Hut. The image portrays a weary yet relieved Evans, seated on the deck of the Discovery, with his two rescuers standing beside him. The sight of solid ground and the warmth of human companionship must have been a welcome relief for Evans, who had endured a harrowing journey from the polar plateau. Owing to the party being one man short, the work of hauling the sledge had taken a heavy toll on Evans' already weakened strength. His condition worsened daily due to his second-in-command, Lieutenant Evans, developing scurvy. With the situation becoming increasingly dire, Tom Crean set out alone on a thirty-mile trek to reach Discovery Hut and secure a relief party. Frank Wild remained behind to nurse Evans, ensuring his survival until help arrived. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the lengths to which individuals will go to save their comrades in the face of adversity. This historical image, taken aboard the Discovery, encapsulates the spirit of exploration, courage, and camaraderie that defined the British Antarctic Expedition.
