EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolour print that captures the ethereal beauty of an extraordinary natural phenomenon in the Antarctic landscape. Created by renowned artist E. A. Wilson during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent for capturing both scientific and artistic elements. In this mesmerizing piece, Wilson skillfully portrays a moonlike optical illusion known as paraselene, which occurs when moonlight passes through ice crystals in the upper atmosphere. The result is a stunning display of multiple glowing lunar halos encircling the luminous full moon against a backdrop of icy terrain. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring to life the surreal scene witnessed on that fateful night at Cape Evans in McMurdo Sound. Wilson's meticulous attention to detail allows viewers to experience firsthand the awe-inspiring meteorological event that unfolded before him. This artwork not only serves as a visual feast but also holds significant scientific value. By accurately depicting this atmospheric phenomenon, it contributes to our understanding of meteorology and its intricate interplay with nature's elements. Preserved by the University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this watercolour print stands as an enduring testament to Wilson's artistic brilliance and his invaluable contributions to polar exploration history. As we gaze upon "Paraselena" we are transported back in time, invited into an otherworldly realm where science meets artistry. It reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our planet's most remote corners and encourages us to appreciate both its grandeur and fragility – all encapsulated within one breathtaking image.
