EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Homeward bound (cutting a way through the ice)", we are transported back in time to the British Arctic Expedition of 1875-76, led by the intrepid George Strong Nares. The original format of this image is a lantern slide, adding an air of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene. The photograph captures a pivotal moment during the expedition as members work together to navigate their way through treacherous icy waters. Leveraging their strength and determination, they use boat hooks to cut a path through massive blocks of floating ice. One man kneels on the ice, gripping onto a cask with unwavering resolve. A fascinating detail in this image is a basket filled with small bottles that have wicks protruding from their necks. These bottles likely contain some form of illumination or fuel for lighting purposes during these harsh conditions, showcasing both resourcefulness and preparedness. In the background stands HMS Alert, the sailing ship that carried these brave explorers on their perilous journey into uncharted territories. Its presence serves as a reminder of both safety and vulnerability amidst nature's unpredictable forces. Preserved by University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also sparks our imagination about what life was like for those who ventured into such unforgiving landscapes centuries ago. It serves as an enduring testament to human resilience and curiosity in pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote regions.
