Scott Polar Expedition 1910 - 1912 - ponies
Michael the pony enjoying a roll in the snow near his stables on Antarctica, during the ill-fated Scott polar expedition 1910 - 1912. Captain Scott wrote of the ponies in his diary, Poor brutes. How they must have enjoyed their first roll. I note that now they are picketed together they administer kindly offices to each other; one sees them gnawing away at each others flans in a most amicable and obliging manner. Date: 1913

EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh and unforgiving landscape of Antarctica during the ill-fated Scott Polar Expedition of 1910-1912, a moment of respite is captured in this poignant photograph. Michael the pony, bundled up against the icy winds, takes pleasure in a simple roll in the snow near his stables. The image, dated 1913, was recorded by an unknown photographer and penned by Captain Robert Falcon Scott in his diary with the observation, "Poor brutes. How they must have enjoyed their first roll." The Scott Polar Expedition, aimed at reaching the South Pole, was a grueling and challenging endeavor for both man and beast. The ponies, essential for transporting supplies and equipment, endured the same harsh conditions as their human counterparts. Scott noted in his diary the ponies' camaraderie and kindness towards each other, as they huddled together for warmth and support. Despite the hardships, this photograph captures a moment of tranquility and joy in the midst of the arduous expedition. The ponies, with their bundled coats and contented expressions, stand in stark contrast to the barren, snow-covered landscape that surrounds them. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of both man and beast in the face of adversity.
