EDITORS COMMENTS
This starfish, Luidia scotti, is a stunning reminder of the rich biodiversity discovered during the historic British Antarctic Expedition led by Sir Robert Falcon Scott from 1910 to 1913, also known as the Terra Nova Expedition. The expedition, which had a broad scientific program, collected thousands of geological and zoological specimens from various locations, including off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In this preserved specimen, the intricate details of the starfish's arms and central disc are beautifully showcased against a pristine white background. The starfish, an echinoderm belonging to the class Asteroidea and order Forcipulatida, was likely collected using the ship's tow nets, which gathered a diverse array of marine life. The Terra Nova Expedition, which is famous for its attempts to reach the South Pole, is often overlooked for its significant contributions to the scientific community. The collected specimens, including this starfish, were preserved in spirit jars and returned to the UK for further study. This starfish, with its elegant and intricate design, serves as a testament to the remarkable discoveries made during this groundbreaking expedition. The Terra Nova Expedition marked a pivotal moment in the exploration and understanding of both the Antarctic and the wider natural world. This preserved starfish, with its arms outstretched, invites us to reflect on the wonders of the ocean and the importance of preserving and studying the natural world for future generations.
