Ice Crystals on the Roof of a Cave at the Head of the Alph River, c1911, (1913)
Ice Crystals on the Roof of a Cave at the Head of the Alph River, c1911, (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
This print captures the ethereal beauty of ice crystals adorning the roof of a cave at the head of the Alph River, c1911. Taken during Captain Robert Falcon Scott's final expedition to Antarctica, this image is a testament to both his scientific endeavors and his unwavering determination. The Terra Nova Expedition, also known as the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), was an ambitious undertaking that aimed to further scientific research in Antarctica while also reaching the elusive South Pole. Led by Scott, this diverse team included experts in various fields such as geology, zoology, meteorology, and photography. Scott's ultimate goal was to be the first person to reach the geographic South Pole. However, upon their arrival on 17 January 1912, they discovered that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them by a month. Despite this setback and facing treacherous blizzards and dwindling supplies on their return journey, Scott and his companions tragically perished at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were later discovered eight months later - a haunting reminder of their valiant efforts in pursuit of discovery. This poignant photograph serves as a visual testament to their bravery amidst harsh conditions and stands as a lasting tribute to Captain Scott's legacy in Antarctic exploration. From "Scotts Last Expedition". Volume II published by Smith Elder & Co. , London in 1913; this remarkable image encapsulates both the awe-inspiring beauty found within nature's icy grasp and the indomitable spirit that drove these explorers forward into uncharted territories.
