The Hut

So we made it out to Scott's hut yesterday evening at Deception Point. You'll find the early explorers weren't too pleased with Antarctica and gave either royal names or negative names to land features, Mt Erebus, Mt Terror, Deception Point, Holy Shit it's cold land, stuff like that. Anyway we had a really great tour guide telling us about the history of the 1902 expedition. The crew that was marooned and had to live there abandoned everything in place once they were rescued even leaving pans on the fire still with food in them. I'm not going to attempt to recount all the details of what happened between Scott and Shackelton it's easy enough to google and will do a much better job explaining just what an awful expidition it was. Anyway it was very neat to walk around inside a building frozen in time (literally) got some great pictures of the place (yeah yeah I know) Going hiking int he mroning weather permitting will write mroe later and fight the computer once again to upload.
Cheers
