EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the distinguished figure of Edward Evans, a renowned British Antarctic explorer and naval officer. Serving as the second-in-command during Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated second Antarctic expedition from 1910 to 1913, Evans played a crucial role in supporting Scott's party on their perilous journey towards the South Pole. The photograph, dating back to 1914, showcases Evans' resolute gaze and commanding presence. Beyond his exploratory achievements, Edward Evans had an illustrious military career. He served in the British Navy during World War I and was later knighted in 1935 for his exceptional contributions. Rising through the ranks to become an Admiral in 1936, he was eventually bestowed with the title of Baron in 1945. Evans also left a lasting legacy through his written works on Antarctica. His book "South with Scott" published in 1921 offered invaluable insights into this treacherous region and further solidified his reputation as an accomplished author. This monochrome portrait not only portrays Edward Evans as a brave adventurer but also highlights his significant role within both geographical exploration and historical warfare contexts. As one gazes upon this image, it is impossible not to be captivated by the determination etched onto his face—a testament to human resilience amidst challenging circumstances. The Library of Congress/Science Photo Library has preserved this remarkable piece of history that encapsulates Edward Evan's indomitable spirit and enduring contribution to our understanding of Antarctica's frozen landscapes.
