EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented photographer Henry Iliffe Cozens, transports us back to a momentous expedition in history. The image depicts the ship Quest, gracefully moored by one bow rope to land in Base Fjord during the British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31. Led by the remarkable Henry George Watkins, also known as Gino Watkins, this daring mission aimed to explore uncharted territories and establish an air route across the Arctic. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness Quest standing tall against a backdrop of majestic glaciers and towering hills. The ship's presence exudes both strength and vulnerability amidst these formidable surroundings. Small rowing boats rest beside her, serving as essential tools for navigating treacherous waters and reaching remote locations. The photograph not only captures a frozen moment in time but also symbolizes the spirit of exploration that defined this groundbreaking expedition. It evokes a sense of awe at nature's grandeur while reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and adventure. Preserved within the archives of University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this print serves as a testament to our collective curiosity about Earth's most extreme environments. It invites us to reflect on past endeavors that pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of polar regions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from nearly a century ago, let us pay homage to those brave souls who ventured into unknown territories in their quest for discovery. May it inspire future generations to continue exploring new frontiers with unwavering determination and respect for our planet's fragile ecosystems.
