"Hut Point, McMurdo Sound, 7th April 1911" is a watercolor painting by Edward Adrian Wilson, an English physician, polar explorer, natural historian, and artist. Wilson is best known for his role as the chief of the scientific staff on Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition to Antarctica (1910-1913). This particular work captures a moment of serene yet stark beauty in one of the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth.

The painting depicts Hut Point, a significant location in Antarctic exploration history, situated on Ross Island in McMurdo Sound. This site served as a crucial base for several British Antarctic expeditions, including Scott's Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) and the Terra Nova Expedition. The date, April 7, 1911, places the painting in the early stages of the Terra Nova Expedition, during the Antarctic autumn when the sun begins to set for the long polar night.

Wilson's artistic skills were highly regarded, and his works provide valuable visual documentation of the Antarctic environment during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. His ability to convey the subtle interplay of light and shadow, the vast expanses of ice, and the imposing presence of the Antarctic landscape is evident in this watercolor. The painting not only serves as an artistic achievement but also as a historical record, offering insights into the conditions and experiences of the explorers during their time at Hut Point.

Wilson's dual role as a scientist and artist allowed him to approach his subjects with a unique perspective, combining scientific observation with artistic expression. His works, including "Hut Point, McMurdo Sound, 7th April 1911," continue to be appreciated for their aesthetic qualities and their contribution to the historical understanding of early 20th-century Antarctic exploration.
