Lieut. Evans Observing An Occultation of Jupiter, 8 June 1911, (1913). Artist: Herbert Ponting
Lieut. Evans Observing An Occultation of Jupiter, 8 June 1911, (1913). Lieutenant Edward Teddy Evans (1881-1957) using a telescope. An occultation occurs when one object is hidden by another object that passes between it and the observer. 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 I. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Lieut. Evans Observing An Occultation of Jupiter, 8 June 1911" captures a significant moment during the final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Taken by photographer Herbert Ponting in 1913, the image shows Lieutenant Edward Teddy Evans using a telescope to observe an occultation of Jupiter. An occultation occurs when one celestial object is hidden by another that passes between it and the observer. This scientific phenomenon was just one aspect of the extensive research conducted during the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913). Led by Scott, this expedition aimed to continue previous scientific work while also striving to be the first team to reach the geographic South Pole. Unfortunately, upon reaching their destination on January 17th, 1912, Scott and his team discovered that they had been beaten by a Norwegian expedition led by Amundsen. Tragically delayed by blizzards and running out of supplies on their return journey, Scott and his remaining crew members perished at the end of March. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of both the scientific endeavors undertaken during this historic expedition and the immense sacrifices made in pursuit of exploration. The bodies and diaries of Scott's team were eventually found eight months later, leaving behind a lasting legacy for future generations to learn from.
