The Two Kayaks Ashore, c1911, 1913. Artist: G Murray Levick
The Two Kayaks Ashore, c1911, 1913. The final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), included a geologist, a zoologist, a surgeon, a photographer, an engineer, a ski expert, a meteorologist and a physicist among others. Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901-04. He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Scott, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From Scotts Last Expedition, Volume II. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

The Two Kayaks Ashore, c1911,1913
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures a significant moment from the final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. In this image, we see two kayaks resting on the icy shores of Antarctica, symbolizing both the resilience and ultimate tragedy of Scott's ill-fated journey. Undertaken as part of the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), this ambitious venture aimed to continue scientific research in Antarctica while also achieving the historic feat of reaching the South Pole. Led by Scott and accompanied by a diverse team including geologists, zoologists, surgeons, photographers, engineers, and more; they embarked on their perilous quest in June 1910. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder that despite their determination and expertise, Scott's team faced insurmountable challenges. Arriving at the South Pole on January 17th, 1912 after enduring treacherous conditions and dwindling supplies; they were met with crushing disappointment upon discovering that Norwegian explorer Amundsen had beaten them to their goal. Tragically delayed by blizzards and plagued by exhaustion and starvation during their return journey; Scott and his remaining companions succumbed to nature's harsh embrace in late March. Their bodies were discovered eight months later alongside heart-wrenching diaries documenting their valiant struggle against adversity. This evocative image is sourced from "Scotts Last Expedition". Volume II (Smith Elder & Co. , London - 1913). It stands as a testament to human ambition amidst unforgiving landscapes while honoring those who sacrificed everything for scientific exploration.
