"Birdie" Bowers
reading the thermometer on the ramp, June 6th, 1911
Lieutenant Henry Robertson Bowers known as "Birdie"
for the size and shape of his nose was one of the hardest working and
most dependable of Scott's men. He is pictured here taking a temperature
reading from an exposed thermometer near to the Cape Evans hut. Bowers
was one of Scott's South Pole Party.
