EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Wilson's Frigatebird, Fregata wilsoni, a magnificent seabird specimen collected during Sir Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1913, also known as the Terra Nova Expedition. The expedition, which had a broad scientific programme, aimed to explore the uncharted territories of Antarctica and collect thousands of geological and zoological specimens. This particular specimen was gathered in July 1910, during a brief stop at South Trinidad in the Caribbean, before the expedition embarked on its journey to the icy continent. The Wilson's Frigatebird is a member of the Fregatidae family, known for its distinctive elongated wings and hooked beak. This bird species, with its scientific name Fregata wilsoni, is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. The Wilson's Frigatebird is a suliform bird, meaning it has a long, narrow wing shape that is well-suited for soaring over the open sea. This bird is also known for its ability to fly for long periods without flapping its wings, making it an impressive sight in the sky. This photograph is a testament to the rich scientific discoveries made during the Terra Nova Expedition, which significantly contributed to our understanding of the natural world. The Wilson's Frigatebird, with its striking appearance and unique characteristics, continues to fascinate ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike, making this specimen a valuable addition to any collection or display.
