Below are some pictures of Scott's Terra Nova hut, Cape Evans. This hut was built for Scott's ill fated Terra Nova expedition (1910-1913) and was later used by Shackleton as well in an expedition that also lost three men. You can find plenty of information and images on line about the Terra Nova hut. These are just a few of my pics. I was so fortunate that on my way back from Cape Royds to McMurdo station the helicopter pilot was able to land with me at Cape Evans. We were the only people there. I had checked out the hut key and was able to spend an hour in the presence of frozen history. The pilot was also able to point out some hidden treasures (notes written in pencil on the wall next to one bunk by one of the men from the Shackleton expedition listing the dead). - When you are looking at this blog please remember that images are quickly pushed into the “old blogs” section since they don't fit on the front page so please look in “old blogs” even for new images. Also if you click on an image you get a larger version. Please stay tuned for more tomorrow.
