Vintage photo circa September 1911 of the "Castle Berg", a large weathered iceberg in Antarctica, taken during Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition of 1910 - 1913. A Terra Nova expedition member riding a sled pulled by dogs is visible in the foreground. Captain Scott, Captain Lawrence "Titus" Oates, Dr Edward Wilson, Lieutenant Henry Robertson "Birdie" Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans famously reached the geographic South Pole in January 1912 but found that Norwegian Roald Amundsen had beaten them there by just over a month. All five men died on the return journey. Photo by Herbert George Ponting.
