Ponting, Herbert Scott's Antarctic 1910. Some of the crew members from the Terra Nova expedition.

Ponting, Herbert Scott's Antarctic , December 1910. Herbert Ponting, a professional travel photographer hired by Scott, took this portrait of himself photographing the Terra Nova in the pack ice.

Scott, R Antarctic Arctic, October 1911. It was almost inevitable that Scott would take photographs of Mount Erebus, as the famous volcano dominated the landscape around his Cape Evans headquarters.

Scott, R F Antarctic Dec. 20, 1911. Scott took this impressive image to capture the interesting geological features of the mountains around Mount Wild.

Scott, R F Antarctic , Dec. 2, 1911. Scott captured the straggle of ponies veiled in the icy wilderness. Many of the men in this image would return, but not all. None of the ponies would- Within a few days they would be shot.

Scott, R F Antarctic , Dec. 11, 1911. Scott took this image from the Lower Glacier Depot in the direction of the group’s journey toward the pole.

Scott, R F Antarctic , Dec. 13, 1911. Members of the expedition worked to free a sledge from soft snow.

Scott, R F Antarctic , Nov. 19, 1911. The peaceful comfort of the ponies’ temporary residence in the sun is disturbed as the eye is led along the line of sledges and out into the great beyond.

Scott, R F Antarctic , Oct. 8, 1911. Scott’s photograph of the ice crack is modernist in its aesthetic, showing the buildup of ice pressure from the tides and currents over the preceding winter.

Scott, R F Antarctic , October 1911. Photographs like this one of the hut at Cape Evans provide a valuable record today, but were taken by Scott principally to practice using lenses, filters and other equipment.

Scott, R F Antarctic , October 1911. Probably Demetri Gerof training a dog team.

Scott, R F Antarctic , Sept. 25, 1911. A view from the sea ice showing, from the left, the Blue Glacier, the Ferrar Glacier and the Kukri Hills; the Kukri Hills to Victoria Lower Glacier; and the Victoria Lower Glacier to Cape Roberts.

Scott, Robert Falcon, Antarctic , September 1911. With the pyramid tent foreshadowing one of the great peaks of Cathedral Rocks, Scott delivered a splendid photograph in the picturesque landscape tradition.
