If someone looted that cabin what would they do with the loot:question: Maybe take it to the local Pawn Shop and get some money for Crack:question:
That’s great stuff. What was the feeling like in that abandoned cabin and do you know any history? That would be amazing.

That would be pretty difficult, as it is nearly impossible to get there.

Those are a few pics from Scott’s Terra Nova hut and Shackleton’s Nimrod hut. Plenty of history on both.
Scott’s hut, from Wiki:
Scott’s Hut is a building located on the north shore of Cape Evans on Ross Island in Antarctica. It was erected in 1911 by the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910?1913 (also known as the Terra Nova Expedition) led by Robert Falcon Scott. In selecting a base of operations for the 1910?1913 Expedition, Scott rejected the notion of re-occupying the hut he had built by McMurdo Sound during the Discovery Expedition of 1901?1904. This first hut was located at Hut Point, 20 km south of Cape Evans. Two factors influenced this decision. One was that the hut was extremely cold for living quarters and the other was that Scott’s ship, the Discovery, had been trapped by sea ice at Hut Point, a problem he hoped to avoid by establishing his new base further north.
Some confusion arises because Discovery Hut can technically be referred to as ‘Scott’s’ Hut, in that his expedition built it, and it was his base ashore during the 1901?1904 expedition, but the title ‘Scott’s Hut’ popularly belongs to the building erected in 1911 at Cape Evans.
Scott’s Hut was prefabricated in England before being brought south by ship. It is rectangular, 50 feet (15 m) long and 25 feet (7.6 m) wide. Insulation was provided by seaweed sewn into a quilt, placed between double-planked inner and outer walls. The roof was a sandwich of three layers of plank and 2 layers of rubber ply enclosing more quilted seaweed. Lighting was provided by acetylene gas, and heating came from the kitchen and a supplementary stove using coal as fuel. Apsley Cherry-Garrard wrote that the hut was divided into separate areas for sleeping and working by a bulkhead
Thanks. Incredible. I wonder what a bottle of that whiskey would go for?! Just amazing and thanks for sharing.

About $150, plus shipping. I’ve had a taste, it’s not bad.

Didn’t they find a whole case of booze under the floor boards of one of those huts? Seems to be I remembered reading about it. They took it out and sent it to NZ or somewhere for testing and then put it back where they found it!
Yep, that’s the whiskey we are talking about. The company was given, I believe, two bottles of it. One they tested so they could make more, and the other was never opened.

Fine work gentlemen! You guys sure can take some badazz pictures!

I have a thousand shots of seagulls and not a single pic has any personality. Worse, most of them were taken in the era of chemical film and each failed attempt cost me a little $$$. Each pic whittled away at photography aspirations as it took another few a little cash.
Seriously, though. Nice stuff.
Thanks.
