Captain Scott on Ski, c1910–1913, (1913). Artist: Herbert Ponting
Captain Scott on Ski, c1910– 1913, (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 I. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the indomitable spirit of Captain Robert Falcon Scott during his final expedition to the South Pole. Taken by renowned photographer Herbert Ponting, this image showcases Scott skillfully navigating the icy terrain on skis, a symbol of his determination and expertise. The Terra Nova Expedition, which took place from 1910 to 1913, was an ambitious undertaking that aimed to continue scientific research in Antarctica while also achieving the historic feat of reaching the geographic South Pole. Alongside a diverse team of experts including geologists, zoologists, surgeons, engineers, and meteorologists among others, Scott embarked on this perilous journey with unwavering resolve. On January 17th, 1912, after enduring treacherous conditions and countless hardships along their arduous trek towards their goal, Scott and four companions finally reached the coveted South Pole. However, their elation soon turned into heartbreak as they discovered that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them to it by a month. Tragically delayed by blizzards and facing dwindling supplies on their return journey back to base camp at Cape Evans, Scott and his remaining team members succumbed to exhaustion and extreme cold in late March. Their bodies were discovered eight months later alongside poignant diaries documenting their valiant struggle against nature's brutal forces. This evocative photograph serves as a testament not only to Captain Scott's extraordinary leadership but also to the immense sacrifices made during one of history's most iconic expeditions. It stands as a powerful reminder of humanity's unyielding pursuit for knowledge amidst unforgiving environments.
