EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Reginald William Skelton during the British National Antarctic Expedition 1901-04, we are transported to a frozen landscape where the spirit of adventure and competition thrives. The image showcases the start of a ski flat race, an exhilarating event that brings together a row of determined men on skis, ready to push their limits in this icy terrain. Lined up against the backdrop of vast ice and snow, these brave individuals display their skill and agility as they prepare for what promises to be an adrenaline-fueled race. Their focused expressions speak volumes about their determination to conquer both the physical challenges presented by skiing and the harsh Antarctic climate. While these athletes eagerly await the signal to commence, our attention is also drawn towards another remarkable sight in the distance - the majestic ship Discovery. Held fast amidst towering pack ice, it serves as a reminder of human exploration and resilience in one of Earth's most unforgiving environments. This photograph not only captures a thrilling sporting moment but also encapsulates elements that define Antarctica's unique allure: its pristine beauty juxtaposed with formidable conditions. It invites us to reflect upon humanity's relentless pursuit of discovery and achievement against all odds. As part of University of Cambridge SPRI's collection at Scott Polar Research Institute, this print stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. It immortalizes an era when intrepid explorers ventured into uncharted territories while showcasing Skelton's talent for capturing poignant moments frozen in time.
