Laura's Antarctica Photos - Scott's Hut

The British explorer Robert Falcon Scott traveled to the Pole in the early 1900

"Had we lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman."

- Robert Falcon Scott

Scott established a base here on what is now McMurdo, and his party left a hut here stocked with goods in 1904. The cold, dry air of the Antarctic tundra helps in preserving the hut and its supplies, but New Zealand maintains the site today.
