Lieut. E. R. G. R. Evans Surveying With The Four-Inch Theodolite, October 1911, (1913)
Lieut. E. R. G. R. Evans Surveying With The Four-Inch Theodolite Which Was Used To Locate The South Pole, October 1911, (1913). Lieutenant Edward Evans (1881-1957), expedition second in command, and Captain of the Terra Nova. 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 Lieutenant E. R. G. R. Evans surveying with the four-inch theodolite in October 1911, during Captain Robert Falcon Scott's final expedition to Antarctica. Lieutenant Edward Evans, the second-in-command and captain of the Terra Nova ship, can be seen meticulously conducting his survey work. The Terra Nova Expedition, also known as the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), was a remarkable scientific endeavor led by Scott. The team consisted of various experts including geologists, zoologists, surgeons, photographers, engineers, ski experts, meteorologists, and physicists. Their mission aimed to continue the scientific research initiated during Scott's previous Discovery Expedition. Scott had an ambitious goal - to become the first person to reach the geographic South Pole. On January 17th, 1912, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson and fellow explorers Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers, and Petty Officer Edgar Evans; they finally reached their destination only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them by a month. Tragically delayed by blizzards and facing dwindling supplies on their return journey from reaching their objective, the team perished at the end of March. Scott's body along with those of his companions were discovered eight months later alongside their poignant diaries. This photograph is part of "Scott's Last Expedition". Volume II published in London in 1913 by Smith Elder & Co. , providing a visual testament to this historic exploration despite its heartbreaking outcome.
