EDITORS COMMENTS

In this watercolour painting titled "Looking north in McMurdo Sound. Frost smoke" artist E. A. Wilson takes us back to the early 20th century, immersing us in the awe-inspiring beauty of Antarctica. Created during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13, this artwork captures a moment frozen in time on April 16,1911. As we gaze upon the scene before us, our eyes are drawn towards McMurdo Sound, stretching out majestically into the distance. The tranquil waters reflect an ethereal palette of blues and whites that blend seamlessly with the icy landscape surrounding it. In this frozen realm where land meets sea, nature reveals its most breathtaking spectacle – frost smoke. The delicate brushstrokes expertly depict wisps of vapor rising from the surface as if dancing with invisible currents. This phenomenon occurs when frigid air comes into contact with relatively warmer water or ice, creating a mesmerizing mist that shrouds everything in an otherworldly veil. E. A. Wilson's artistic prowess shines through as he masterfully captures not only the visual splendor but also conveys a sense of tranquility and isolation inherent to these remote lands. As we stand alongside him through his artistry, we can almost feel ourselves transported to that very moment over a century ago. This remarkable piece is housed within the Scott Polar Research Institute at Cambridge University – an institution dedicated to advancing polar research and preserving historical artifacts like this one for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Through their efforts, they ensure that humanity's connection with these pristine landscapes endures long after those who first explored them have passed on. "Looking north in McMurdo Sound" serves as both a testament to human curiosity and resilience while reminding us of our responsibility towards safeguarding Earth's fragile ecosystems for generations yet unborn.
