EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures some of the indomitable canine members of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's polar expedition to Antarctica, which returned to Lyttelton, New Zealand, aboard the Terra Nova in February 1913. The dogs, a mix of Siberian and Norwegian huskies, played a crucial role in the expedition's haulage and transport, enabling the team to traverse the treacherous icy terrain. Scott, a renowned British explorer, was known for his ethical stance towards the use of dogs in his expeditions. Unlike his Norwegian counterpart, Roald Amundsen, who controversially slaughtered his dogs for food during his successful race to the South Pole in 1911, Scott refused to resort to such measures. Instead, he believed in treating his dogs with care and respect, providing them with adequate food and shelter. The Terra Nova's return marked the end of the ill-fated expedition, which ultimately resulted in Scott and his companions' tragic demise. Biographers have since debated the impact of Scott's ethical stance on the outcome of the expedition. Some argue that his refusal to use the dogs as a food source may have contributed to the team's starvation and, ultimately, their deaths. Regardless, this poignant image serves as a testament to the unwavering spirit of the dogs that accompanied Scott on his quest to reach the Earth's southernmost point.
