Our colleagues at the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust have completed one of their most ambitious conservation projects yet, at Blaiklock Island Refuge – a hut frozen in time in Marguerite Bay on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The Trust’s team began with conservation tasks in Hillary’s TAE/IGY hut and conservation treatment of artefacts while at New Zealand’s Scott Base, before deploying to Shackleton’s hut at Cape Royds.
The eight young explorers were tasked with returning a classic book to the icy continent and hoped conditions would permit them to get to the base where heroic era explorers had read it, Scott’s Discovery hut at Hut Point on Ross Island.
This was the first time the Trust has taken young explorers to experience the legendary Antarctic explorers’ bases and understand the Trust’s conservation of them.
An ambitious project in a particularly challenging environment has succeeded thanks to the long-term partnership between two organisations on opposite sides of the globe.
