| | this was the site of the 1st wintering on the continent in 1899 |
| | | this hut also used in 1911 by the northern party of Scott Terra Nova expedition |
| | | the huts were built of interlocking boards tightened by steel rods |
|
| | storms and fierce winds have ripped off and blown away some walls |
| | | outside are roof trusses, wooden barrels, bags of coal and provision boxes |
| |
| | penguin colonies are now the only regular explorers here |
| | | this site is rarely visited by tourists-it's just too windy |
| | | one expedition member did die during that first antarctic winter |
|
| | close up of ships anchor on the beach |
| | | my glove marks the spot -severe winds blew this hut wood hundreds of feet away |
