historic Scott hut where the British explorer staged the Discovery
expedition in 1902. Scott and Amundsen were the first to reach the
South Pole in 1912, Amundsen on December 14 and Scott on January 17.
The hut still stands, and once in a while they have tours where you
can walk in and see how the early polar explorers lived. There was no
tour when I was there, but I could peak in the windows to see some
boxed biscuits and canned meats. There is also the 100-year old
mummified seal near the entrance, you might barely be able to see in
this photo: it's the lump at the left of the building.
