EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring sight of icebergs drifting in the cold, crystal-clear waters of the sea during the daytime. The scene is a testament to the breathtaking beauty of nature, as the towering ice formations cast dramatic shadows against the sun-kissed water. This photograph holds historical significance as it was taken during the epic voyage of H.M.S. Challenger, an expedition funded by the British Government between 1872 and 1876 for the purpose of scientific discovery. The H.M.S. Challenger was the first scientific research vessel, and its voyage marked a pivotal moment in the history of oceanography and marine biology. The expedition, led by Sir Charles Wyville Thomson, circumnavigated the globe and collected an extensive amount of data on the world's oceans, including the depths of the ocean floor, temperature, salinity, and the distribution of marine life. This photograph is a reminder of the incredible discoveries made during this groundbreaking journey. The photograph was taken from the deck of the H.M.S. Challenger, outside the ship, providing a unique perspective of the icebergs in their natural habitat. The image is a treasure from the zoology department of Oxford University, showcasing the rich history and scientific importance of this remarkable expedition.
