EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Scott Polar Research Institute, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13. The image, captured by renowned photographer Herbert Ponting, showcases an expedition member sitting amidst a vast expanse of snow-covered terrain. Dressed in protective gear suitable for such extreme conditions, our protagonist dons goggles and fur gloves while bundled up in a parka and sturdy boots. Despite being surrounded by an icy landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see, there is a touch of familiarity and comfort present - two boxes prominently marked with the iconic Heinz Baked Beans logo. With one hand clutching a can of these beloved beans and another holding a spoon ready for use, it becomes evident that even in this remote corner of the world, some creature comforts were sought after. This simple act serves as a reminder that no matter how harsh or unforgiving nature may be, human beings have always found solace in familiar tastes and experiences. The University of Cambridge SPRI has preserved this remarkable photograph print which not only captures an intriguing moment from Captain Robert Falcon Scott's expedition but also provides us with insight into the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by those who ventured into uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this frozen scene through time's lens, let us appreciate both the bravery exhibited by these explorers and their desire to find comfort amidst adversity. It is through images like these that history comes alive before our eyes - reminding us of humanity's indomitable spirit even under the harshest circumstances.
