Amundsens Tent at the South Pole, January 1912, (1913). Artist: Henry Bowers
Amundsens Tent at the South Pole, January 1912, (1913). Expedition leader Captain Robert F Scott (1868-1912), Dr Edward Wilson (1872-1912) and Petty Officer Edgar Evans (1876-1912) 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 print captures the iconic Amundsen's Tent at the South Pole in January 1912, taken by artist Henry Bowers during Captain Robert F Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic events that unfolded during this historic journey. Expedition leader Captain Scott, along with Dr Edward Wilson and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, lost their lives on the treacherous return from the South Pole. Despite facing insurmountable challenges, they had successfully reached their destination on 17 January 1912, only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them there by a month. The Terra Nova Expedition was an ambitious scientific endeavor led by Scott to further explore Antarctica and conduct groundbreaking research. Comprising experts from various fields including geology, zoology, surgery, photography, engineering, skiing expertise, meteorology and physics; this diverse team aimed to expand our understanding of this remote region. Scott's desire to be the first person to reach the geographic South Pole was ultimately overshadowed by tragedy. Blizzards delayed their progress and dwindling supplies left them vulnerable in harsh conditions. By March 1912, Scott and his remaining team members succumbed to exhaustion and extreme cold. Their bodies were discovered eight months later alongside poignant diaries documenting their final moments. This haunting photograph stands as a testament not only to their bravery but also as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made in pursuit of scientific exploration.
