EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The ice in which the Discovery was held fast" takes us back to a moment frozen in time during the Antarctic Relief Expeditions of 1902-04.

As we gaze upon this remarkable image housed at the Scott Polar Research Institute within the University of Cambridge, we are transported to a world untouched by human presence. The sheer vastness and raw beauty of Antarctica unfold before our eyes through Morrison's lens. In this photograph, we witness nature's power as it holds the mighty ship Discovery firmly within its icy grip. The surrounding sea is dotted with delicate fragments of ice floating serenely on its surface. These small floes create an ethereal atmosphere that contrasts with the immense strength required to hold such a colossal vessel captive. Morrison's composition invites contemplation and reflection on humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and exploration amidst unforgiving environments. It reminds us of the bravery and determination exhibited by those who embarked on perilous expeditions into uncharted territories.
