Vintage photo of Robert Falcon Scott's ship "Terra Nova" moored in Antarctica during the Terra Nova Expedition of 1910 - 1913.
Vintage photo circa January 1911 of Robert Falcon Scott's ship "Terra Nova" moored to the ice in Antarctica during the Terra Nova Expedition of 1910 - 1913. An iceberg, partially out of shot, 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.
