Lunar Corona, 1911, (1913). Artist: Edward Wilson
Lunar Corona, 1911, (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
The print of "Lunar Corona, 1911" captures a moment frozen in time from the final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. In 1910, Scott embarked on the Terra Nova Expedition with a diverse team of scientists and experts, aiming to continue his scientific research and become the first person to reach the South Pole. This particular image features Dr Edward Wilson, one of Scott's companions on this treacherous journey. The lunar corona visible in the photograph adds an ethereal quality to the scene, as if nature itself is paying homage to their valiant efforts. Tragically, upon reaching their destination on January 17th, 1912, they discovered that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them by a month. Despite facing blizzards and dwindling supplies during their return journey, it was not until March that Scott and his remaining team members succumbed to exhaustion and extreme conditions. Eight months later, their bodies were found along with poignant diaries documenting their harrowing ordeal. This haunting image serves as a testament to their bravery and unwavering determination in pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration. From "Scott's Last Expedition". Volume I published by Smith Elder & Co. , London in 1913; this print preserves both history and tragedy for future generations to reflect upon.
