The Depot Laying and Western Parties on Their Return to Cape Evans, 13 April 1911, (1913)
The Depo t Laying and Western Parties on Their Return to Cape Evans (Left to right - Taylor, Wright, Evans, Bowers, Scott, Debenham, Gran, P.O. Evans, Crean), 13 April 1911, (1913). Captain Scott and group taken on return of Southern Party: geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor, physicist Charles Seymour Wright, Lieutenant Edward Evans (Captain of the Terra Nova), Lieutenant Henry Bowers, Expedition leader Robert F Scott, geologist Frank Debenham, ski expert Tryggve Gran, petty officer Edgar Evans, petty officer Tom Crean. 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]

The Depot Laying and Western Parties on Their Return to Cape Evans, 13 April 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the brave explorers of Captain Robert Falcon Scott's final expedition to the Antarctic. Taken on their return to Cape Evans on 13 April 1911, it showcases a group of determined men who embarked on a perilous journey in search of scientific discovery and the elusive South Pole. From left to right, we see geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor, physicist Charles Seymour Wright, Lieutenant Edward Evans (Captain of the Terra Nova), Lieutenant Henry Bowers, Expedition leader Robert F Scott himself, geologist Frank Debenham, ski expert Tryggve Gran, petty officer Edgar Evans, and petty officer Tom Crean. Each member played a crucial role in this ambitious endeavor. The Terra Nova Expedition aimed not only to reach the South Pole but also to conduct extensive scientific research. The team included experts in various fields such as geology, zoology, surgery, photography, engineering, skiing expertise and meteorology. However noble their intentions were when they set out from London on 1 June 1910; fate had other plans for them. Despite enduring treacherous conditions and battling blizzards along the way; upon reaching their destination on 17 January 1912 - they discovered that Norwegian explorer Amundsen had beaten them by a month. Tragically delayed by severe weather conditions and dwindling supplies; Scott and his remaining team members perished at the end of March. It would be eight months before their bodies were found alongside poignant diaries documenting their courageous struggle against nature's wrath. This photograph serves as both a testament to these intrepid explorers' unwavering spirit and an enduring reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge amidst adversity.
