Scott’s Terra Nova hut

Scott’s Terra Nova hut, an Aged wooden building, with ladders propped on wall, on snowy surfaces in Antarctica.

Built for Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s British Antarctic (Terra Nova) Expedition in 1911, this hut is the largest of the historic bases in the Ross Sea area. The hut underwent a seven-year restoration to conserve it and the more than 11,000 artifacts inside it.
