EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Edward Adrian Wilson during the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-04, we witness a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases Sir Ernest Shackleton alongside his trusted companions, Edward Wilson and Hartley Travers Ferrar, as they meticulously prepare themselves for an arduous journey across the icy expanse of Antarctica. The trio stands proudly beside their sledges adorned with flags representing their nation's spirit of exploration.

It reminds us of those brave souls who ventured into uncharted territories so that future generations could expand our understanding of the world around us.
