EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a somber moment in the history of polar exploration. Lieut Adrien de Gerlache, commander of the BELGICA expedition, stands solemnly as his trusted lieutenant Danco is laid to rest in the unforgiving ice. The year is circa 1900, and the crew of the BELGICA has been battling harsh conditions and treacherous terrain for years. Lieut Danco's sudden death from a heart attack serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that come with pushing the boundaries of human exploration. His burial in the ice symbolizes both sacrifice and resilience in the face of adversity. The men of the BELGICA were pioneers in their own right, braving unknown waters and uncharted territories in search of knowledge and discovery. Theirs was a mission fueled by curiosity and courage, but also marked by tragedy and loss. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in pursuit of knowledge and understanding. Lieut Adrien de Gerlache's steely gaze speaks volumes about his determination to press on despite overwhelming odds. This print serves as a testament to human endurance and ingenuity, capturing a pivotal moment in polar exploration that will forever be etched into history.
