'Hut Point from Observation Hill', 1911, (1946). View of the coast of Antarctica at Hut Point Peninsula on Ross Island. After a watercolour by Dr Edward Wilson, a member of Robert Falcon Scott's doomed expedition to the South Pole. When Scott's final camp was discovered by a search team in November 1912, Scott's sleeping bag was open and his body partially out of his bag - his left arm was extended across Wilson. From "British Polar Explorers", by Admiral Sir Edward Evans. [Collins, London, 1946]
