EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31. The photographer, Henry Iliffe Cozens, skillfully frames the scene on West beach with meticulous attention to detail. In the foreground, a De Havilland Moth sea bi-plane gracefully rests on the sandy shore of a small cove. Its sleek design stands out against the rugged backdrop of rocky shoreline and towering mountains. Seven men gather around the aircraft, their presence adding scale and context to this remarkable feat of aviation exploration. Wooden boxes and bags are scattered across the beach, evidence of supplies unloaded from this aerial vessel. Two sturdy wooden rowing boats lie nearby, perhaps used for further exploration or transportation between land and plane. The image exudes an air of adventure and pioneering spirit as these brave explorers push boundaries in one of Earth's most challenging environments. It is a testament to human ingenuity that such technology can find its place amidst nature's grandeur. Preserved by the University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this photograph serves as a visual portal into history. It allows us to witness firsthand how intrepid individuals like expedition leader Henry George Watkins dared to dream big and conquer uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded not only of our past achievements but also inspired to continue pushing boundaries in pursuit of knowledge about our world – both known and unknown.
