This photo print, titled "Aeroplane on ice - fitted with skis - Base" takes us back to the remarkable British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31. Captured by the talented photographer Henry Iliffe Cozens, this image transports us to a time when exploration and adventure were at their peak. In this frozen landscape, we witness a De Havilland Moth biplane gracefully perched on skis atop the icy terrain. The ingenuity of fitting skis onto an aircraft is evident, as it allows for smooth navigation across the unforgiving Arctic ice. Against a backdrop of majestic snow-covered mountains, this scene exudes both beauty and audacity. Led by the intrepid Henry George Watkins, known affectionately as Gino Watkins, this expedition aimed to establish an air route through the treacherous Arctic region.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper narrative – one that speaks volumes about mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery. This photograph reminds us that even in times of great uncertainty and adversity, there are those among us who dare to dream big and push boundaries further than ever before. The "Aeroplane on ice - fitted with skis - Base" print invites us into an extraordinary chapter in history – one filled with courage, innovation, and endless possibilities waiting just beyond those snow-capped peaks.
