A member of Robert Scott's Terra Nova Expedition on top of an iceberg in Antarctica in 1911 with Mount Erebus in background.
Vintage photo circa October 1911 showing a member of Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition (1910 - 1913) standing on top of an iceberg known as the "Matterhorn Berg" in Antarctica. Mount Erebus, a volcano located on Ross Island, is in the background. 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.
