In this print captured by Henry Iliffe Cozens, we are transported back to the British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31. The image showcases the remarkable resilience and determination of H. G. (Gino) Watkins, a prominent figure in polar exploration history. As our eyes delve into the frame, we witness a moment frozen in time - Watkins recovering from an unexpected roll in his kayak. The rugged beauty of the Arctic landscape surrounds him, its icy waters glistening under the pale sunlight that filters through dark clouds overhead. Watkins' unwavering spirit shines through as he emerges from his capsize unscathed yet soaked to the bone. His strong physique is evident as he effortlessly maneuvers himself back onto his kayak with grace and composure. It is a testament to his skill and experience navigating these treacherous waters. The photograph not only captures a personal triumph but also symbolizes the indomitable human spirit when faced with adversity amidst nature's harshest elements. Watkins' stoic expression reveals both determination and respect for Mother Nature's power. This extraordinary snapshot serves as a reminder of the courage exhibited by explorers like Watkins during their relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery in some of Earth's most unforgiving environments. Preserved within this University of Cambridge SPRI print lies an invaluable piece of history that invites us to reflect on humanity's insatiable thirst for exploration, pushing boundaries beyond what was previously thought possible. Through Cozens' lens, we are granted access to an intimate moment that encapsulates both vulnerability and strength - reminding us all that even when faced with daunting challenges, there is always room for triumph if one possesses unwavering resolve
