Bowers, Wilson, and Cherry-Garrard About To Leave For Cafe Crozier, 27 June 1911, (1913)
Bowers, Wilson, and Cherry-Garrard About To Leave For Cafe Crozier, 27 June 1911, (1913). Lieutenant Henry Birdie Bowers (1883-1912), doctor and naturalist Edward Wilson (1872-1912) and zoologist Apsley Cherry-Garrard (1886-1959) setting off on an expedition to collect penguin eggs. 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
In this photo print, we witness the historic moment when Lieutenant Henry Birdie Bowers, doctor and naturalist Edward Wilson, and zoologist Apsley Cherry-Garrard prepare to embark on a daring expedition to collect penguin eggs. The year is 1911, and these brave men are part of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's final Antarctic exploration known as the Terra Nova Expedition. Leaving for Cafe Crozier on 27 June 1911, their mission was not only focused on reaching the South Pole but also continuing vital scientific research in this unforgiving land. As they set off from London on 1 June 1910, their team consisted of various experts ranging from geologists to photographers. Their shared goal was to expand our understanding of Antarctica's unique ecosystem. However, upon arriving at the South Pole on 17 January 1912 after enduring treacherous conditions and dwindling supplies, Scott and his companions were met with crushing disappointment. Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen had already reached their objective a month earlier. Tragically delayed by blizzards and faced with dire circumstances, Scott and his remaining team members perished in late March. It would be eight months before their bodies were discovered along with poignant diaries that chronicled their valiant struggle against nature's harshest elements. This poignant image captures both the hopefulness that accompanied these explorers' departure for Cafe Crozier as well as foreshadows the immense challenges they would face during this ill-fated journey. Preserved within Scott's Last Expedition Volume II (published in London in 1913), it serves as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity while honoring those who sacrificed everything in pursuit of knowledge about our planet's most remote regions.
