N2  - Herbert Ponting (1870-1935), son of a successful banker, owned one of the first Kodak cameras sold in the UK. By the early 1900s, he had won acclaim for his photography and produced thousands of stereographic images of Asia and Europe. In 1909 Ponting met Scott in London and signed up for the Terra Nova expedition as the group photographer. In February 1913, when Ponting was climbing in Switzerland, the news broke that Scott and his South Pole companions had died.
