EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when Captain Robert Falcon Scott, a proud and dedicated British national, received the Union Jack flag from Queen Alexandra on the 25th of June, 1910. The flag, presented with great ceremony, was destined to accompany Scott's Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole. The image, filled with a sense of patriotism and national pride, shows Queen Alexandra, dressed in a regal blue gown and pearls, presenting the flag to a determined-looking Scott, who clutches it tightly against his chest. The Union Jack, with its red cross and white field, stands out boldly against the dark background, symbolizing the courage and resilience of the British people and their unwavering commitment to exploration and discovery. This iconic photograph, a testament to the spirit of adventure and the indomitable human spirit, is a poignant reminder of the historic South Pole expedition led by Captain Scott in 1910.
