EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Supper on the march" we are transported back in time to the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13, led by the intrepid Captain Robert Falcon Scott. The image, captured by renowned photographer Herbert Ponting (1870-1935), depicts a moment of respite and camaraderie amidst the harsh Antarctic conditions. Inside a humble tent, four members of the expedition - Evans, Bowers, Wilson, and Scott himself - gather around a stove. Their weary faces bear witness to their arduous journey through unforgiving icy landscapes. Yet here they find solace and warmth as they share a meal together. The composition is strikingly intimate; it invites us into their world as if we were sitting right there with them. The dim light cast by the stove creates an ethereal glow that illuminates their expressions and highlights every detail within the tent's confines. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the physical challenges faced by these explorers and their unwavering determination to push forward in pursuit of scientific discovery. It captures not only their physical nourishment but also symbolizes emotional sustenance derived from companionship during such demanding circumstances. Preserved at University of Cambridge's Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI), this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into history. It allows us to reflect upon those who ventured into uncharted territories for knowledge and exploration while reminding us of our shared human spirit that thrives even in extreme environments. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us honor these brave individuals who dared to venture where few had gone before – enduring hardships unimaginable so that future generations may benefit from their pioneering efforts.
