Captain Oates, on the Terra Nova with the Siberian Ponies, c1911, (1914)
Captain Oates, on the " Terra Nova" with the Siberian Ponies, c1911, (1914). British Antarctic explorer Lawrence Titus Oates (1880-1912) with expedition ponies and dogs. Captain Robert Falcon Scott, leader of the Terra Nova Expedition, together with Oates and two others, reached the geographic South Pole on 17 January 1912, only to find that the Norwegian expedition under Amundsen had beaten them to their objective by a month. Oates, suffering from gangrene and frostbite, walked from his tent into a blizzard. His death is seen as an act of heroic self-sacrifice - aware that his ill health was compromising his three companions chances of survival, he chose certain death. Delayed by blizzards, and running out of supplies, Scott and the remainder of his team died at the end of March. From " Bibbys Annual 1914", edited by Joseph Bibby. [J. Bibby & Sons, London, 1914]
