EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sledging" takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a moment of sheer determination and camaraderie amidst the harsh Antarctic landscape. The photographer, John Donald Morrison, skillfully freezes this poignant scene from the Antarctic Relief Expeditions of 1902-04. In this black-and-white image housed at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, we witness two man-hauling sledge groups battling against nature's unforgiving forces. The men are indomitable figures against a backdrop of vast icy plains and towering snow-capped mountains. Their faces etched with grit and perseverance tell tales of endurance as they navigate through treacherous terrain. The photograph encapsulates both physical exertion and teamwork as these brave explorers pull their sledges across frozen expanses. Each step forward is an arduous struggle against biting winds and bone-chilling temperatures that test their limits daily. Yet, despite these hardships, there is an undeniable sense of unity among them – a shared purpose that binds them together on this perilous journey. Morrison's lens captures not only the immense challenges faced by these adventurers but also their unwavering spirit in pursuit of scientific discovery. This historic snapshot serves as a testament to human resilience in extreme conditions while shedding light on the remarkable efforts made by those who ventured into uncharted territories for knowledge. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece preserved within the walls of one of academia's most esteemed institutions - University of Cambridge - it reminds us that exploration knows no boundaries when driven by curiosity and fueled by collective ambition.
