Igloo Passage, 1912, (1913). Artist: G Murray Levick
Igloo Passage, Looking Towards The Steps Leading Outside, Down Which The Light Is Shining, 1912, (1913). 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
The captivating print titled "Igloo Passage, 1912" by G Murray Levick takes us back to the final expedition of Captain Robert Falcon Scott in the early 20th century. This remarkable image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the harsh and unforgiving beauty of the Antarctic landscape. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn towards a small opening at the end of an icy tunnel. The steps leading outside are illuminated by a faint ray of light, symbolizing hope amidst desolation. It is through this passage that Scott and his team ventured forth into their treacherous journey towards the South Pole. This historic expedition was not only driven by ambition but also fueled by scientific curiosity. Scott assembled a diverse group of experts including geologists, zoologists, surgeons, photographers, engineers, and more to conduct groundbreaking research in this remote region. However, fate had other plans for Scott's team as they arrived at their ultimate destination on January 17th, 1912 – only to discover that Norwegian explorer Amundsen had reached it first. Trapped by blizzards and dwindling supplies on their return journey, tragedy befell them as they succumbed to nature's merciless grip. Eight months later their bodies were discovered along with poignant diaries that documented their valiant struggle against adversity. Levick's photograph serves as a haunting reminder of both human resilience and vulnerability in one of Earth's most extreme environments. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration while urging us never to underestimate nature's power or take life for granted.
