EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1903 during the National Antarctic Expedition led by Robert Falcon Scott from 1901 to 1904, captures the awe-inspiring sight of Mount Erebus, Antarctica's second-highest volcano. Rising majestically to a height of approximately 13,200 feet (4,023 meters), Mount Erebus dominates the landscape of Ross Island. In the foreground of this image, one of the expedition's camps can be seen, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. Mount Erebus is an active stratovolcano, and its last major eruption occurred in 2016. The volcano's historical significance extends beyond the realm of geology, as it was the site of the first confirmed discovery of a volcano on the Antarctic continent, made by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition in 1908. The National Antarctic Expedition, which aimed to explore the Transantarctic Mountains and reach the South Pole, faced numerous challenges, including extreme weather conditions and the loss of several team members. This photograph, taken six years after the expedition's conclusion, offers a glimpse into the harsh yet breathtaking beauty of the Antarctic landscape that captivated the imaginations of explorers and scientists alike. This image, with its rich historical context, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on Antarctic exploration, geology, or the history of polar expeditions. The photograph, taken in 1903, is part of the Illustrated London News (ILN) collection and is a testament to the enduring allure of Antarctica and the human spirit's determination to explore the unknown.
