EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Scott Polar Research Institute's collection showcases a remarkable moment in aviation history. Taken by the talented photographer Ian Forbes Meiklejohn during the British Graham Land Expedition of 1934-37, it offers a unique perspective on an iconic aircraft - the De Havilland Fox Moth biplane on floats. In this aerial view, we are transported back to 1935, where we witness this magnificent aircraft gracefully gliding above the Antarctic Peninsula. The vast expanse of icy terrain stretches out beneath it, creating a stark contrast against the plane's sleek silhouette and vibrant red color scheme. The De Havilland Fox Moth was not only renowned for its beauty but also for its exceptional performance in extreme conditions. As part of John Rymill's leadership during this expedition, these planes played a crucial role in exploring and mapping uncharted territories within Antarctica. Meiklejohn's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate both the engineering marvels of this biplane and its ability to conquer such unforgiving landscapes. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in pushing boundaries even amidst some of Earth's harshest environments. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but be filled with awe at how far exploration has come since that time. This image is not just about an airplane; it encapsulates humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unwavering spirit of adventure. Thanks to University of Cambridge SPRI’s preservation efforts, we can now relish in these historical treasures that continue to inspire generations with their stories frozen in time – reminding us all that there are still frontiers waiting to be discovered beyond our wildest dreams.
