Shackleton's Antarctic expedition huts restored

[@SuperCakeFTW]

I love this kind of stuff. Where else on earth but Antarctica can an abandoned building over 100 years old not be looted and ransacked and totally reclaimed by nature? This is such a unique glance into the past and I'm glad there are people that have taken the time to conserve it.

I love it when history is preserved like this !! Great job !!

[@duncan1945]

Just amazing. Our granddaughter is in Antartica at this very moment running the gift shop at Port Lockroy. She mentioned the BBC were doing a documentary restoring Shackleton"s cabin recently.

The beautiful dedication by a hardy bunch, Shackleton and Scott would be proud.

[@davidatkinson7291]

Brilliant work carried out by skilled and dedicated people preserving history for those that care.Shout out for the Aussies and Kiwis.

After an Antarctica cruise just over a year ago, and having since read many books about Shackleton, Scott, Mawson etc it’s really good to see that such excellent conservation work has been done. I doubt I shall ever get to the huts and experience the sights and smells, but I am very pleased that they are being preserved as and where they were built.

Wow! Amazing work!! So happy there's people making efforts to keep these historical places in shape

[@dmt0430]

Wow. Thank you. So happy to know some people are doing something worthwhile in their life - conserving our past.

Whoever slept in the two beds flanking the stove were the warmest at night. This whole thing is amazing and now I'm down a rabbit hole about antarctic expeditions

,"Great job! for those future generations that love human heroism! and leadership at its best Thank you!! CBS. :-)

[@MrCrabbing]

That is fantastic I would love to see there

[@missannthrope7395]

Thank you.

[@condor5635]

Great work! I don't think it was ever mentioned where are these huts?

[@flashgordon6238]

Shackleton's hut is at Cape Royds in Antarctica. It is on Ross Island near the US base of McMurdo Sound. I was there in 1984, 1985 and 1986 as a helicopter crewchief with the Navy.

[@knotkool1]

let's see the boat hut on elephant island

[@otiscambell1883]

Outstanding! The whole project. What was used for heat in the stove?

[@fr73ed38]

coal

[@edwardwilliams6514]

My dream, to visit Cape Royds and Hut Point.

[@donsheahan1569]

🇮🇪 Ireland's Tom CREAN was here.

Don Sheahan What a man!

[@fr73ed38]

When you're in Ireland, South Pole Inn. Tom Creans pub.

[@davebasch5995]

@@fr73ed38American here... went there in 2019!!! Lovely place

[@123canadagirl]

Are these near Mc Murdo? Obviously not many people can visit them. Still good to see them being preserved

[@danieloblinger1199]

The volume is much too low.

[@bonitobonita9263]

Did they removed dead penguins and dead dogs carcasses? Hope they buried them if it’s not important for study. Great preservation

[@heru-deshet359]

This may seem unlikely, but at some point it may become difficult maintaining this site. Would it be better to dismantle it and install it in a climate controlled section of a museum where more people, students and future explorers can study and enjoy it more?

[@Scaro.s]

I just feel like the environment is what makes the hut so special

[@jasonfallon4968]

Like to see this before I die.

[@robsmithadventures1537]

This was the 1900s equivalent of being on the moon basically.

[@Gojira_Sama]

I thought everyone survived??

[@katsumiskytower8714]

way to go with the captions cbs .___.

[@marklee1960]

Very few people, and then only very privileged people, will ever see this. The money could be better spent.

[@whiskeymonk4085]

Wont see anymore Huwhyte excellence from CBS anymore. 9 years old. Back when we had a semblance of decency in our media.

[@Iz0pen]

Do the NZ taxpayers really fund these ladies holiday to camp out and fiddle with old baskets!?
