Lieut. Rennick and a Friendly Penguin, 1911, (1913). Artist: Herbert Ponting
Lieut. Rennick and a Friendly Penguin, 1911, (1913). Crew member Harry Rennick. 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 a heartwarming moment between Lieutenant Rennick and a friendly penguin during the final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Taken in 1911 by renowned artist Herbert Ponting, this image is a testament to the camaraderie and unique encounters experienced by the Terra Nova Expedition crew members. Undertaken from 1910 to 1913, the British Antarctic Expedition aimed to continue scientific research while also striving to be the first team to reach the South Pole. Led by Scott, this diverse group included experts in various fields such as geology, zoology, surgery, photography, engineering, skiing, meteorology, and physics. On January 17th, 1912, after enduring treacherous conditions and facing numerous challenges along their journey towards their ultimate goal - reaching the geographic South Pole - Scott and his companions finally arrived at their destination. However, they were met with disappointment as they discovered that Norwegian explorer Amundsen had already reached it a month earlier. Tragically delayed by blizzards and running out of supplies on their return journey from the pole's location back to safety; Scott and his remaining team members perished in late March. It was not until eight months later that their bodies were found alongside poignant diaries documenting their heroic efforts. This photograph serves as an enduring reminder of Lieutenant Rennick's connection with nature amidst harsh surroundings while encapsulating both the triumphs and sacrifices made during this historic expedition.
