EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Northern Party after winter in snow cave, 1912" we are transported back to a moment frozen in time during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13. The image captures three members of the northern party - Priestley, Levick, and Browning - who have emerged from their snowy sanctuary after enduring a long and harsh winter. As our eyes meet theirs, it is impossible not to be struck by their appearance. Covered in dirt and disheveled beyond recognition, these brave explorers wear the physical toll of their extraordinary journey on their faces. Their weather-beaten expressions speak volumes about the challenges they faced while battling against nature's harshest elements. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than George Murray Levick (1877-1956), whose lens immortalized countless moments throughout this historic expedition led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Through his artistry, Levick has managed to capture not only a visual record but also an emotional one that resonates with viewers even over a century later. This particular photograph was taken on September 24th, 1912 - a date forever etched into history as part of one of mankind's most daring adventures into uncharted territory. It serves as a testament to human resilience and determination when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. Preserved within the archives at the University of Cambridge SPRI (Scott Polar Research Institute), this print stands as both an artifact and an inspiration for future generations. It reminds us that exploration requires sacrifice but rewards those willing to push boundaries with invaluable knowledge about our planet's most remote corners.
