EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Scott Polar Research Institute, we are transported back in time to the British Arctic Air Route Expedition of 1930-31. The image captures a moment frozen in history, featuring three brave explorers: Lindsay, Scott, and Stephenson. Perched upon a sledge loaded with boxes, these intrepid adventurers exude an air of determination and camaraderie. Their faces reveal both excitement and trepidation as they embark on their Ivigtut journey. It is clear that they are prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in this unforgiving Arctic landscape. Photographer Henry Iliffe Cozens skillfully frames the scene, capturing not only the physical presence of Lindsay, Scott, and Stephenson but also their spirit of adventure. Each man's unique personality shines through - Lindsay appears confident and resolute; Scott emanates a sense of quiet strength; while Stephenson exudes curiosity and enthusiasm. The University of Cambridge SPRI has preserved this remarkable photograph as a testament to human resilience and exploration. It serves as a reminder of our innate desire to push boundaries and discover new frontiers. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image nearly a century later, it evokes feelings of awe and admiration for those who dared to venture into uncharted territory. We can almost hear the crunching sound of snow beneath their sledges' runners or feel the biting cold wind against our own cheeks. This print encapsulates not just an expedition but also embodies the indomitable human spirit that drives us forward into unknown territories – seeking knowledge, pushing limits, and leaving an enduring legacy for generations to come.
