The leader of the expedition was none other than Robert Falcon Scott, who at the beginning of the voyage was already a British national hero and had the respect of English society through previous exploratory voyages. On board was a team of men whose worldview saw Antarctica as a natural fortress to be conquered and besieged. At the time, no one knew that few of the men would return to London and that this would be Scott's last voyage. Among them was the photographer Herbert George Ponting. The British photographer had already had an eventful life by this time. After leaving his childhood home in Salisbury, southern England, he tried his luck in California. The stories about the new country and the possibilities had captivated him, and so he bought an orchard in sunny California. Herbert Ponting was unable to realize his dream, returned to England and instead devoted himself to photography.
Ponting's talent lay in a narrative visual language. He was able to sell his first photographs to various magazines. The photographer took a liking to the combination of journalism and illustration and published a coffee table book of photographs he had collected in Japan. His experience and photographic talent brought him aboard the Terra Nova. The preferred medium Herbert Ponting used for his photographs was glass plates. Although photographic film had already been invented, he preferred to use the traditional technique for his photographs. In addition, he used a film camera that could record short sequences. Herbert Ponting was one of the oldest expedition members and spent a lot of time at base camp. Here he had set up a small darkroom. His motifs were the men in thick, chunky clothing, the horses and the unique continent with its white shores. Unique is a self-portrait that shows the photographer at work and is of exceptional quality in the windy and cold conditions.
Herbert Ponting did not participate in the race to the South Pole. He took one last photo of Scott as the team departed. He himself returned to England. He wanted to sort his photographic plates and prepare his photos so that Scott could use them for lectures when he returned. The expedition brought the participants to the brink of economic ruin. Scott was to return as a successful explorer and generate income by presenting the photographs. After Scott's death, Ponting returned to the Arctic once again and took more photographs. The photographer left behind unique photographs of a landscape that few people have seen in this state and that will never be the same again.
