Date 1913
Description Scott Polar Expedition 1910 - 1912 - ponies
Details

Michael the pony enjoying a roll in the snow near his stables on Antarctica, during the ill-fated Scott polar expedition 1910 - 1912. Captain Scott wrote of the ponies in his diary, 'Poor brutes. How they must have enjoyed their first roll. I note that now they are picketed together they administer kindly offices to each other; one sees them gnawing away at each other's flans in a most amicable and obliging manner.'
