EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning studio shot captures the intricate details of Pogonophryne scotti, a deep-water fish specimen discovered during the historic Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) led by Sir Robert Falcon Scott. The British Antarctic Expedition, famously known for its broad scientific programme, collected thousands of geological and zoological specimens, including this rare and fascinating find. Pogonophryne scotti, a member of the Artedidraconidae family within the Perciformes order, is a common inhabitant of Antarctic waters and can be found at depths of up to 1,000 metres. Named in honor of Scott, this ray-finned fish boasts an elongated body and a unique, protruding lower jaw, which gives it the common name "bearded rockling." The discovery of Pogonophryne scotti marked an essential contribution to the scientific understanding of Antarctic marine life during this pioneering era of exploration. This specimen serves as a testament to the groundbreaking research conducted by the Terra Nova Expedition, which expanded our knowledge of the natural world and paved the way for future scientific discoveries in the Antarctic region.
