Centenary of Scott's last expedition
The centenary of Captain Scott's Terra Nova expedition (1910-1913) and
the death of his Polar Party is set to be celebrated with a series
of worldwide events from 2010-2013. Major events are already under
way with an exhibition at The
American Museum of Natural History in New York. Many institutions in the
UK are planning exhibitions and events and these will be posted and regularly updated at
www.scott100.org so keep an eye out for events near to you!
"Once lost, they are lost forever. Historic buildings in Antarctica stand as monuments to the dedicated work of their inhabitants and as witnesses to the details of their everyday existence." Port Lockroy - our living museum
Preparations for the 20010/11 season are well
underway. Port Lockroy will continue as the flagship of the Trust as a living
museum and post office. The reconstructed Nissen hut will provide much needed accommodation for
next season's staff. Other historic sites Wordie House and Damoy
refuge will need some final work with the major project to make the old
Base 'W' at Detaille Island structurally sound and weathertight.
The Port Lockroy team has already written its first
