Tragic in this case as well I'm afraid.

Scott and his party at the Pole, having just discovered that Amundsen beat them there. For those who don't know the story, all 5 perished on their way back. From the left Wilson, Scott, Evans, Oates, Bowers.

For me, an equally iconic photo is that of Wilson, Bowers and Cherry-Garrard on their return from The Winter Journey (prior to the push for the Pole), but that depends on having read The Worst Journey in the World and I thought it might look deliberately obscure.
