Mysteries of “Terra Nova”
Step into a realm of icy enchantment: a cave in Antarctica, sculpted like nature’s own peephole, captured in 1911. Herbert Ponting and Henry Bowers, photographers of the British “Terra Nova” Expedition, frame this ethereal world within a world.
Beyond the mouth of this cave, far from the camera, two explorers and a ship appear almost Lilliputian against the expansive, snow-encrusted, otherworldly landscape. The expedition aimed to reach the South Pole, a lofty aspiration immortalized by this photograph. It ran from 1910 to 1913. This cave of natural oddity symbolizes both the grandeur and the dangers that awaited these early polar pioneers.
