The Castle Berg, a weathered iceberg

The Castle Berg, a weathered iceberg

Between the years 1910 and 1913, the Terra Nova Expedition, better known as the British Antarctic Expedition, took explorers across Antarctica to be the first to find the south pole and secure the achievement for The British Empire. Although the team made it to the south pole on January 17th, 1912, they did not survive the return trip. The photo captures a man and a dogsled of either one of the five men on the British expedition or one from the Norwegian team that had proceeded them by 34 days, with a weathered iceberg in the background.
