EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures some of the brave men who made the harrowing discovery of the bodies of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his companions, Lieutenant Edward Evans, Petty Officer Edgar Evans, and Pooley, on their return to New Zealand from the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to the South Pole in 1912. The men in the photograph are (from left to right, standing): Petty Officer Thomas Keohane, Petty Officer Albert Williamson, Steward Thomas Hooper, and Chief Stoker Robert Lashley. Seated are Mr. Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Sub-Lieutenant Frank Debenham Gran, Surgeon Edgar Torday Atkinson, and Mr. Edward Wilson Nelson, the expedition's biologist. The discovery of the frozen bodies on March 17, 1912, came after a grueling search through the unforgiving Antarctic landscape. The team had faced extreme weather conditions, including blizzards and temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius. Upon finding the bodies, the men erected a simple cairn as a makeshift memorial. The Terra Nova Expedition, led by Captain Scott, aimed to reach the South Pole and return safely. However, they arrived at the pole on January 17, 1912, only to find that Roald Amundsen's team had beaten them by five weeks. Scott and his companions perished on their return journey due to a combination of exhaustion, starvation, and extreme cold. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men in the pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration. It is a testament to their determination, courage, and resilience in the face of adversity.
