EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the tent left at the South Pole by Roald Amundsen in 1911,1912. The image showcases Lieutenant Henry Robertson Bowers' skillful photography as he documents this remarkable expedition. In the photo, we see three brave explorers standing beside the tent: Robert Falcon Scott, Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson, and Petty Officer Edgar Evans. These men had successfully reached the South Pole in January 1912, following in Amundsen's footsteps. Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer who became renowned for being the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911. His achievement marked a turning point in polar exploration and solidified his place in history as a pioneer. The photograph itself holds historical significance as it was reproduced in a French edition of Scott's Journal titled "le Pole Meurtrier" (the Murderous Pole) published in 1914. This publication aimed to shed light on Scott's ill-fated journey to the South Pole after learning about Amundsen's success. Today, this image serves as a testament to human perseverance and determination amidst harsh conditions. It reminds us of the incredible feats accomplished by these early explorers and their enduring legacy within Antarctic exploration.
