EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the British Graham Land Expedition of 1934-37. Taken by renowned photographer Alfred Stephenson, it showcases the De Havilland Moth biplane at Stella Creek on February 25,1936. The image transports us to Penolas anchorage, where this iconic aircraft rests gracefully on the water's surface, its floats keeping it buoyant. The sheer beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula serves as a breathtaking backdrop for this historic scene. Led by John Rymill, the British Graham Land Expedition aimed to explore and conduct scientific research in one of Earth's most remote regions. This particular photograph represents an essential aspect of their mission - transportation across treacherous terrains. The De Havilland Moth biplane played a crucial role in facilitating exploration efforts during this expedition. Its sturdy design and ability to land on both solid ground and water made it an ideal choice for navigating Antarctica's challenging landscapes. Stephenson skillfully captured not only the plane but also conveyed a sense of adventure and anticipation that permeated throughout these daring expeditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we can't help but imagine what those brave explorers must have felt as they prepared to embark on their journey into uncharted territories. Preserved by the University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this print stands as a testament to human resilience and our insatiable thirst for discovery. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly inhospitable environments like Antarctica, mankind has always found ways to push boundaries and uncover new knowledge about our planet.
