EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Scott Polar Research Institute, we are transported back to the year 1930, where renowned explorer H. G. (Gino) Watkins fearlessly maneuvers his kayak amidst a breathtaking landscape of ice floes and rocky formations. The photograph, skillfully captured by Henry Iliffe Cozens, encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined the British Arctic Air Route Expedition. As our gaze is drawn towards Watkins in his kayak, we cannot help but marvel at his audacity and determination as he navigates through treacherous icy waters. His unwavering focus is palpable even from behind the lens, showcasing a man who was unafraid to push boundaries and explore uncharted territories. The backdrop against which Watkins finds himself is equally awe-inspiring. The vast expanse of ice floes stretching out before him serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and its formidable power. Towering rocks in the distance add an element of grandeur to this frozen tableau, emphasizing just how small humans are in comparison to their surroundings. This remarkable image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery and knowledge. It serves as a testament to the indomitable human spirit that drives explorers like Watkins to venture into unknown realms for scientific advancement. Preserved by the University of Cambridge SPRI, this print invites us on an extraordinary journey through history while igniting our own sense of curiosity about what lies beyond our comfort zones. It reminds us that there will always be new frontiers waiting to be explored – whether they lie within ourselves or in far-flung corners of our planet yet untouched by human footprints.
