This Penguin Has An Industrious Mate, c1911, (1913). Artist: Herbert Ponting
This Penguin Has An Industrious Mate, c1911, (1913). The final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), included a geologist, a zoologist, a surgeon, a photographer, an engineer, a ski expert, a meteorologist and a physicist among others. Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901-04. He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Scott, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From Scotts Last Expedition, Volume II. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "This Penguin Has An Industrious Mate" by Herbert Ponting captures a moment of resilience and companionship amidst the harsh Antarctic landscape. Taken during the final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott in 1911, this image showcases the diverse team that accompanied Scott on his quest to reach the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition was a scientific endeavor, with experts from various fields joining forces to conduct research in this unforgiving environment. The photograph depicts a penguin couple, symbolizing dedication and hard work as they navigate their surroundings together. It serves as a reminder of the unity and determination exhibited by both humans and animals alike during this historic journey. Unfortunately, despite their valiant efforts, Scott's team arrived at the South Pole only to discover that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had beaten them there. Trapped by blizzards and dwindling supplies, Scott and his remaining crew members tragically perished on their return journey. "This Penguin Has An Industrious Mate" is part of an extensive collection called "Scott's Last Expedition" which documents the ill-fated mission through photographs taken by Ponting himself. These images not only provide glimpses into life in Antarctica but also serve as poignant reminders of human ambition and perseverance in extreme conditions.
