A lovely image of the ‘Terra Nova’ in the ice during Capt. Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13). Herbert Ponting has left us with a wealth of images covering the important early exploration of the Antarctic continent. This study, made on a dead calm day, shows a berg in the last stages of decay from the action of the sun and the sea. The Terra Nova is seen on the horizon. Beyond are the peaks of the Western Mountains of Victoria Land. Photographer: Herbert Ponting. See also our poster of this same image (#16939).
