Edward Adrian Wilson (1872–1912): polar explorer and artist

Abstract

Dr Edward Wilson was a polar explorer who accompanied Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) on his expeditions to Antarctica in 1900 and 1910. He went with Scott to the South Pole and died with him on the return journey in 1912. Although medically qualified, he is now remembered more as a naturalist and as a talented artist recording the Antarctic expeditions.

Edward Leicester Atkinson (1881–1929): Antarctic explorer, scientist and naval surgeon

“…Captain Robert Scott took three doctors with him on his Terra Nova Expedition to the Antarctic (1910–1913). The lives of Drs Edward Wilson (1872–1912) 1 and Murray Levick (1876–1956) 2 have been described previously in this journal and the aim of this paper is to describe the life and career of Dr Edward Leicester Atkinson which was no less remarkable than that of his two colleagues.…”

Teleconnections in STEAM: Antarctic Field-Camp Art

“…This resulted in a trajectory of collaborative works ranging from gallery talks through poetry, sonic postcards, all the way to Antarctic field physics. STEAM in an Antarctic context is not new (Fox 2005;Brown 2012). What is unique here is the trajectory of collaborative connections as the overarching exploration of ideas unfolded.…”
