Taken on 4th February 1902, the image shows members of the National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-4 deflating an hydrogen balloon against the backdrop of the impressive Polar Research Ship Discovery.
The balloon had soared to a height of 750 feet, providing valuable insights and perspectives from above. This groundbreaking flight marked a significant milestone in scientific research and exploration efforts in Antarctica.
The stark beauty of the frozen landscape is juxtaposed with the technological marvels of early aviation, showcasing humanity's relentless quest for knowledge and discovery. The towering presence of PRS Discovery adds a sense of scale and grandeur to this historic moment captured forever in time.
