EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hut Point from Observation Hill, 1911" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the stunning coast of Antarctica at Hut Point Peninsula on Ross Island. It is a reproduction of a watercolour painting created by Dr Edward Wilson, who was part of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh conditions faced by these brave explorers during their quest for discovery. In November 1912, when Scott's final camp was discovered, his tragic fate became evident. His sleeping bag lay open with his body partially out, while his left arm extended across Wilson. The desolate landscape depicted in this print evokes a sense of isolation and remoteness that characterized polar exploration during the early 20th century. The icy terrain and vast expanse of the Southern Ocean serve as reminders of both the beauty and challenges encountered by British explorers in their pursuit of geographical knowledge. This particular print is sourced from Admiral Sir Edward Evans' book "British Polar Explorers" published in London in 1946. Its inclusion within this publication highlights its historical significance and contribution to our understanding of polar exploration. Overall, this print encapsulates not only an important chapter in British history but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination amidst extreme conditions.
