EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration depicts the unique phenomenon of the Passage of the Sun at the South Pole, as experienced by the intrepid explorers who ventured into the uncharted territories of Antarctica over a century ago. The year was 1912, and the sun, represented by the golden disc at the top of the image, was making its annual appearance above the horizon after a prolonged period of darkness. The South Pole, located at the bottom of the illustration, is shown as a stark, icy expanse, with the surrounding landscape represented in shades of blue and white. The sun's rays cast long, dramatic shadows over the terrain, as the illustration captures the moment of the sun's passage. The sun's path is depicted as a curved line, reflecting the elliptical shape of the Earth's orbit and the tilt of its axis. This historical illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of polar exploration, a time when human beings pushed the boundaries of their physical and mental endurance to explore the most remote and inhospitable corners of the Earth. The Passage of the Sun at the South Pole was a significant milestone in the history of Antarctic exploration, marking the end of the long, dark winter and the beginning of the summer season. The illustration also serves as a reminder of the wonders of the natural world and the importance of scientific discovery and exploration. It invites us to reflect on the achievements of those who came before us and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of our planet.
