EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Junkers - arrival at Angmagssalik" offers a glimpse into an extraordinary moment in history. Taken during the British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31, this image captures the sheer determination and resourcefulness of both Inuit men and European explorers. In the foreground, we witness a group of resilient Inuit men working together to drag a Junkers seaplane over icy terrain using nothing but ropes. Their strength and unity are evident as they navigate through challenging conditions to assist these brave pioneers on their mission. As the aircraft inches forward, a crowd forms in the background. Inuit women clad in traditional attire stand alongside children who curiously observe this monumental event unfolding before them. The presence of dogs adds an element of authenticity to this frozen landscape, reminding us that life here is intertwined with nature's elements. The significance of this scene lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of cultural exchange and cooperation between different communities. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability when faced with adversity. Preserved by the University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this remarkable photograph invites us to reflect on our shared history while celebrating diversity and collaboration across cultures. It reminds us that even amidst harsh environments, humanity can come together for common goals – pushing boundaries, exploring new frontiers, and leaving lasting legacies for future generations. Through Henry Iliffe Cozens' lens, we are transported back to 1930 when dreams took flight against all odds – forever capturing the spirit of exploration etched within our collective memory.
