EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph showcases a Herald Petrel specimen (Pterodroma arminjoniana arminjoniana), collected during Sir Robert Falcon Scott's British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-1913, also known as the Terra Nova Expedition. The Terra Nova had a broad scientific programme and amassed thousands of geological and zoological specimens, including this one. The Herald Petrel is a seabird that breeds on the remote island of Trindade, off the coast of Brazil. Previously known as South Trinidad, it was one of the stops made by Terra Nova on its voyage south. This particular specimen was prepared by Wilson, the expedition's chief scientific staff, in July 1910. Wilson was an accomplished ornithologist and naturalist, and his meticulous work can be seen in the excellent preservation and presentation of this Herald Petrel. The Herald Petrel, also known as the Trindade Petrel or Arminjon's Petrel, is a tubenose seabird belonging to the Procellariidae family and the Procellariiformes order. It is a sauropsid, a term used to describe reptile-like vertebrates, and is classified under the class Aves, or birds. The Herald Petrel is a rare and elusive bird, and its discovery during the Terra Nova Expedition was an important contribution to the scientific community's understanding of the avian life in the Caribbean and South American regions. This photograph is a testament to the expedition's significant role in advancing ornithological knowledge and the importance of preserving specimens for future research.
