Wilson, Scott, Evans and Oates at the South Pole, January 1912. A blurry photo, with Bowers absent - rarely reproduced. Wilson and Scott appear to be laughing.

The perfect antidote to the famously miserable “Standing Dead” photo: who says these men felt beaten at this point? Who says it? Evidently they found something to laugh about, even at this low point in their lives…

:D

Wow. This is quite wonderful. :-)

this isn’t the final product, but i felt like i should show the progress of the unknown explorer. from this point i have to either do a:

-rubber mold, which would take forever and has a high chance of failure

-plaster mold, which has a high chance of failure

-make another one out of clay that is bigger and can be fired and glazed, but will take another two weeks to do

I don’t know what to do. but anyway

Any new guesses on who this handsome and famous antarctic explorer is? 

I love his face! My gosh, I feel like I’ve seen that exact expression in a photo somewhere, I just can’t put my finger on it, and if I can’t put a name to that face that’s my fault…

Is he Tom Crean?

There’s a fine looking fellow. He looks suspiciously like Scott to me, but is that too obvious?
