An informal portrait photograph of Doctor Edward A. Wilson standing outside the entrance to the hut at Cape Evans.
An informal portait photograph of Dr. Edward Wilson, standing outside the Hut at Cape Evans. The Scott Polar Research Institute has this photograph dated as November 1911 but it is more likely to have been taken earlier because the Southern party had departed for the South Pole by 31 October.
Captain Wilfrid Bruce wrote in his recollections of his time in the Antarctic that Dr. Wilson "was the most interesting teacher one could possibly have had, always good-tempered, and no amount of trouble was too much as long as one showed intelligent interest". A sentiment that was shared by most, if not all, expedition members. Apsley Cherry-Garrard also described him as being knowledgable, sympathetic, and always ready to help.
A number '101' is in a white dot on the slide. This slide is a duplicate of LS3.
