EDITORS COMMENTS

This watercolour print titled "Paraselena. McMurdo Sound, 10.30am, 20 June 1911" takes us back to the remarkable British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13 led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott aboard the Terra Nova. Painted by the talented artist E. A. Wilson (1872-1912), this medium captures a mesmerizing moment in time. The painting showcases an extraordinary natural phenomenon known as paraselene, which resembles a moonlike optical illusion caused by moonlight passing through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The ethereal glow illuminates McMurdo Sound, casting an otherworldly light upon its surroundings. In this enchanting scene, we witness a group of seals basking on an icy shoreline against a backdrop of towering glaciers and snow-covered mountains. Their sleek bodies contrast beautifully with the pristine white landscape, creating a sense of harmony between nature's elements. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also serves as a valuable meteorological record from that specific day and time - 10:30 am on June 20th, 1911. It offers researchers at the University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute invaluable insights into atmospheric conditions during that historic expedition. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece created over a century ago, it becomes evident how art can intertwine with scientific exploration to document our world's wonders. Through Wilson's skilled brushstrokes and keen eye for detail, he transports us to one of Earth's most remote locations while simultaneously shedding light on atmospheric phenomena rarely witnessed elsewhere. This watercolour print not only captivates our imagination but also reminds us of humanity's ceaseless quest for knowledge and understanding in even the harshest environments imaginable.
