EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Henry Iliffe Cozens during the British Arctic Air Route Expedition 1930-31, transports us back to a time of daring exploration in the unforgiving Arctic wilderness. The image showcases a remarkable feat of engineering and teamwork as it depicts a wooden dinghy equipped with an outboard motor towing a small rowing boat carrying two men. But what truly captures our attention is the extraordinary cargo being towed behind them – a De Havilland Moth sea bi-plane. As we delve into this frozen tableau, we witness two courageous men standing confidently in the dinghy, their faces etched with determination against the backdrop of ice floes and hilly shores. Meanwhile, seated calmly in the rowing boat are two more individuals who bear witness to this incredible spectacle. And there on one of the seaplane's floats stands yet another man, perhaps overseeing this audacious endeavor. The juxtaposition between these humble vessels and the majestic aircraft they pull is awe-inspiring. It speaks volumes about human ingenuity and resilience in conquering even nature's most formidable challenges. This photograph encapsulates both adventure and innovation; it embodies mankind's relentless pursuit of discovery. Preserved by University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this print serves as an enduring testament to Gino Watkins' leadership during that historic expedition nearly a century ago. It invites us to reflect upon humanity's indomitable spirit when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. In gazing at this snapshot frozen in time, we find ourselves transported back to an era where boundaries were pushed beyond imagination – where dreams took flight amidst icy landscapes.
