Exercising the Ponies, 1911, (1913). Artist: Edward Wilson
Exercising the Ponies, 1911, (1913). The final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) left London on 1 June 1910 bound for the South Pole. The Terra Nova Expedition, officially the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), included a geologist, a zoologist, a surgeon, a photographer, an engineer, a ski expert, a meteorologist and a physicist among others. Scott wished to continue the scientific work that he had begun when leading the Discovery Expedition to the Antarctic in 1901-04. He also wanted to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole. Scott, accompanied by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, reached the Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. Their bodies and diaries were found eight months later. From Scotts Last Expedition, Volume I. [Smith, Elder & Co. London, 1913]

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Exercising the Ponies, 1911" captures a poignant moment from the final expedition of British Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott. In 1910, Scott embarked on the Terra Nova Expedition with a diverse team of scientists and experts, aiming to continue his scientific work in Antarctica and become the first to reach the South Pole. This particular image showcases Scott's team exercising their ponies amidst the vast icy landscape. Led by Dr Edward Wilson, Captain Lawrence Oates, Lieutenant Henry Bowers, and Petty Officer Edgar Evans, they faced extreme weather conditions and dwindling supplies as they pushed towards their goal. However, upon reaching the South Pole on 17 January 1912 after enduring treacherous blizzards along their journey, they were met with crushing disappointment. The Norwegian expedition led by Amundsen had beaten them to this historic milestone by a month. Tragically delayed further by harsh weather conditions and running out of provisions during their return journey, Scott and his remaining team members perished at the end of March. It was not until eight months later that their bodies were discovered alongside heart-wrenching diaries documenting their struggles. This print serves as a haunting reminder of both human resilience in pursuit of knowledge and exploration but also highlights the unforgiving nature of Antarctica's frozen wilderness that claimed these brave men's lives.
