EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the historic Belgica Expedition of 1897, led by Commander Adrien de Gerlache. The Belgica was the first Belgian scientific expedition to Antarctica, and its crew of 65 members embarked on this journey with the goal of advancing geological knowledge in the uncharted territories of the polar region. De Gerlache, seen here on the far left, stands proudly amongst his team, all dressed in their expedition gear and ready for the challenges ahead. The Belgica was a small, sturdy ship, equipped with laboratories and cabins for the scientists and crew. The expedition was a significant achievement for Belgium, marking its entry into the world of polar exploration. The crew gathered a wealth of geological samples during their journey, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding of Antarctica's geology. The expedition faced numerous hardships, including being trapped in the ice for over a year, but the team's determination and resilience allowed them to persevere and complete their mission. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of exploration and scientific discovery that characterized the late 19th century. The Belgica Expedition paved the way for future polar explorations and expanded our knowledge of the world, leaving a lasting legacy in the annals of history.
