"Sun Halo - a Prismatic Parahelion, 11th September 1902" is a watercolor painting by the British physician, polar explorer, natural historian, painter, and ornithologist Edward Adrian Wilson. Created during the British National Antarctic Expedition, also known as the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904), this artwork captures a rare atmospheric phenomenon observed in the Antarctic region. Wilson, who served as the expedition's chief of scientific staff and zoologist, was also an accomplished artist, and his paintings provide a vivid visual record of the harsh and stunningly beautiful Antarctic environment.

The painting depicts a sun halo, a prismatic parahelion, which is a type of optical phenomenon that occurs when sunlight interacts with ice crystals in the atmosphere, creating bright spots on either side of the sun, often accompanied by a halo around the sun. This particular phenomenon is relatively rare and is more commonly observed in polar regions, where ice crystals are abundant in the cold atmosphere. Wilson's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the ethereal quality of the light and the atmospheric conditions make this painting a significant scientific and artistic document.

Wilson's work is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its scientific accuracy. His background in natural history and his keen observational skills enabled him to create works that were both aesthetically pleasing and scientifically valuable. "Sun Halo - a Prismatic Parahelion, 11th September 1902" stands as a testament to Wilson's dual talents and his contributions to both art and science. His paintings from the Discovery Expedition continue to be of interest to historians, scientists, and art enthusiasts alike, offering a unique window into the early 20th-century Antarctic exploration and the natural wonders of the polar regions.
