Mount Erebus, c1911, (1913). Artist: Herbert Ponting
Mount Erebus, c1911, (1913). Penguins at Mount Erebus, Ross island. Erebus is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica and the southernmost active volcano on Earth. 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 II. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Mount Erebus in all its glory, taken by renowned artist Herbert Ponting in 1911. Standing as the second-highest volcano in Antarctica and the southernmost active volcano on Earth, Erebus is a true marvel of nature. The image also showcases the vibrant wildlife that inhabits this remote region, with a group of penguins gracefully navigating their way across Ross Island. These resilient creatures have adapted to survive in one of the harshest environments on our planet. The photograph holds historical significance as it was taken during the final expedition led by British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Departing from London in June 1910, Scott's Terra Nova Expedition aimed to conduct scientific research while also attempting to be the first to reach the South Pole. Despite enduring treacherous conditions and facing numerous challenges along their journey, Scott and his team ultimately arrived at their destination on January 17th, 1912—only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them there a month earlier. Tragically, due to blizzards and dwindling supplies, Scott and his remaining crew members perished at the end of March. Their bodies were discovered eight months later alongside poignant diaries that documented their heroic struggle. This remarkable print serves as a testament not only to Ponting's artistic talent but also to the indomitable spirit of exploration and discovery that drives humanity forward even under extreme circumstances.
