Communal Table in Scott's Hut at Cape Evans, Antarctica.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Scott's Hut was erected in 1911 by Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Expedition. The hut housed 25 men that winter and served as a base of operations for the team that would make for the South Pole, and fail, dying in the process. The remaining men who stayed behind at the hut ended up having to spend an additional winter there, in 1912-13.
This table, in the center of the main room, is the feature of a famous photo of Scott's crew celebrating a Midwinter's feast in 1911, before the Southern Party element of the expedition tried, and failed, for the South Pole. Later, during Shackelton's transantarctic attempt, his Ross Sea Party ended up having to live here at this hut, from 1915-1917 until they were rescued. Three men of the Ross Sea Party died there and a memorial is erected nearby. The hut itself is in remarkable preservation and is still filled with foodstuffs, scientific equipment, sleeping areas, newspapers...it is like time travel stepping foot in there. |
