At The South Pole, (Bowers pulls the string), January 1912, (1913). Left to right: Captain Lawrence Oates, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Petty Officer Edgar Evans, seated left to right: Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Dr Edward Wilson in front of flags including the Norwegian flag planted by Roald Amundsen a month earlier. Oates (1880-1912), Evans (1876-1912), Bowers (1883-1912), (1872-1912) and expedition leader Captain Robert F Scott (1868-1912) all died on the way back from the South Pole. The final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), included a geologist, a zoologist, a surgeon, a photographer, an engineer, a ski expert, a meteorologist and a physicist among others. Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901-04. He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Scott, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From Scotts Last Expedition, Volume I. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the brave explorers of the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition at the South Pole in January 1912. In this historic moment, Lieutenant Henry Bowers pulls a string while standing alongside his fellow expedition members. From left to right, we see Captain Lawrence Oates, Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Petty Officer Edgar Evans, and seated in front are Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Dr Edward Wilson. The group is surrounded by flags, including the Norwegian flag planted by Roald Amundsen just a month earlier. Tragically, all five men depicted in this photograph would lose their lives on their treacherous journey back from the South Pole. This final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott aimed to continue scientific research while also striving to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Despite reaching their objective on 17 January 1912, they were devastated to discover that Amundsen's team had beaten them there by a month. Harsh blizzards and dwindling supplies further delayed their return journey until they ultimately succumbed to exhaustion and extreme conditions at the end of March. The bodies and diaries of these courageous explorers were discovered eight months later. Their sacrifice remains an enduring testament to human resilience and determination in pursuit of knowledge and discovery. This image is part of "Scott's Last Expedition". Volume I (Smith Elder & Co. , London, 1913), offering us a glimpse into one of history's most tragic polar expeditions.
