Description
Lieutenant Robert Falcon Scott, as he was at the time of leading his first expedition to the Antarctic - The National Antarctic Expedition - in 1901-05. The expedition sailed in the S.S. Discovery and the team included Ernest Henry Shackleton, a scientific investigator, who was forced to return home due to illness. Lt Scott later became more famous as Captain Scott, when he led a later expeditionl, sailing on the Terra Nova in 1910 and reaching the South Pole. The party all died attempting their return to base, despite the sacrifice of injured Captain Oates, who walked into a blizzard saying he would not delay the rest of the men from having a chance of survival. This portrait, in a 1930s book reviewing the early part of the 20th century, is credited to 'Dinham' about whon no information can be found.
Captain Oates, the man who attempted to save his colleagues on the Antarctic Expedition of 1910-12 by walking into a snowstorm while injured, so as not to delay the others, was in charge of the expedition's ponies during the earlier days before problems arose. Photo by one of his expedition colleagues, seen in a 1930s book reviewing the early 20th century.

Description
Vintage photo circa 1910s of British Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874 - 1922). Irish-born Shackleton served as a junior officer on Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery Expedition of 1901 - 1904 and subsequently led the Nimrod Expedition of 1907 - 1909 (also known as the British Antarctic Expedition) which reached a point closer to the geographic South Pole than had ever previously been attained. Shackleton is however probably best remembered for leading the Endurance Expedition (also known as the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition) of 1914 - 1917 - an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent from sea to sea. Shackleton's ship Endurance became trapped in pack ice and was slowly crushed and sank - leaving her 28-man crew stranded on the ice and sparking a series of heroic actions which ultimately resulted in the survival of all the expedition members. Shackleton obtained funding for another expedition to Antarctica in 1921 but had a fatal heart attack before the expedition was properly under way. Photo by Bain News Service.

Vintage photo of Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen (1872 - 1928) - the first person to reach the geographic South Pole in 1911. Amundsen was a member of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897 - 1899 and from 1903 - 1906 led the first expedition to successfully sail through Canada's Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans on his ship Gjoa. Amundsen is most famous for reaching the South Pole on December 14 1911, famously beating Robert Falcon Scott's expedition by just over a month, and in later life he explored the Arctic by air - in 1926 he was part of the first team to fly from Europe to America over the North Pole in a dirigible. Amundsen was killed in 1928 when his aircraft vanished in the Arctic while on a rescue mission. Amundsen is pictured circa 1918 at the helm of his ship "Maud" as he begins a new expedition to sail west to east through the Northeast Passage. Photo by Lomen Bros.

Lyttleton Scott Shacklelton Departure Point Antarctic Harbour harbor Captain Scott explorer history New Zealand
Description
Lyttelton, New Zealand is a port town close to Banks Peninsula on the South Island of New Zealand where about 3,000 people reside. From Christchurch, New Zealand it is a twelve kilometer drive but you can also board the train that links Lyttelton to Christchurch as this port serves Christchurch.Over 700 years ago, the town of Lyttelton was home to the Maori people and the earliest trace of any human life goes back to the year of 1250. Lyttelton, New Zealand was officially announced as a port in 1849 and was named after George William Lyttelton. the harbour of Lyttelton, New Zealand was formed due to a volcanic crater that collapsed and was socked in by two islands known as Quail Island and Ripapa Island. Quail Island was once... Christchurch also has a historical connection to the Antarctic expeditions; both Scott and Shackleton used the port of Lyttelton as a departure point.

Description
Vintage photo circa December 1911 of Mount Erebus and the Barne Glacier in Antarctica taken during Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition of 1910 - 1913. Mount Erebus, a volcano located on Ross Island, is in the background and the wall of the Barne Glacier, which descends from the west slopes, is in the foreground. A Terra Nova expedition member riding a sled is visible to the bottom left of the picture. Captain Scott, Captain Lawrence "Titus" Oates, Dr Edward Wilson, Lieutenant Henry Robertson "Birdie" Bowers and Petty Officer Edgar Evans famously reached the geographic South Pole in January 1912 but found that Norwegian Roald Amundsen had beaten them there by just over a month. All five men died on the return journey. Photo by Herbert George Ponting.
