1848 Arctic Crew Effect Enjoy Enterprise Exploration Fin D Franklin Investigator Leave Polar Regions Return Ross Voyage
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of joy and awe experienced by the crew of the Enterprise and Investigator, led by British explorer Sir James Clark Ross, as they witness the long-awaited return of the sun to the Arctic regions during their historic voyage to find the lost expedition of Sir John Franklin in 1848. After months of darkness and harsh conditions, the sun's rays bring new life and hope to the weary explorers. In this photograph, Ross and his men, including their faithful sled dogs, have left their ships behind to fully immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of the Arctic landscape, bathed in the golden light of the sun's resurrection. The crew's expressions of happiness and relief are palpable, as they take in the full effect of the Arctic sun after a long, arduous winter. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the spirit of exploration and the indomitable human will to discover the unknown. The event, which took place on April 12, 1848, is a significant milestone in the history of polar exploration, as it marked the first time that the sun had been seen in the Arctic Circle since the previous autumn. Sir James Clark Ross's voyage, which lasted from 1845 to 1848, was one of the most ambitious and challenging expeditions of the 19th century. The crew faced numerous hardships, including extreme cold, treacherous ice, and scurvy, but their determination and perseverance ultimately led to the discovery of the North Magnetic Pole and the confirmation of the existence of a northwest passage. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring power of human curiosity and the awe-inspiring wonders of the natural world.
