Thanks to the support of @antarctica.nz's Communit Thanks to the support of @antarctica.nz's Community Engagement Programme, the Trust’s On-Ice Conservation team have successfully completed LiDAR and photogrammetry work at Shackleton’s ‘Nimrod’ hut at Cape Royds and Scott’s ‘Terra Nova’ hut at Cape Evans. Through precise digital scanning, they have meticulously captured data that is invaluable in documenting the expedition bases and artefacts we care for, helping us to safeguard these important cultural heritage sites. Thank you to @staples_vr for supplying technical equipment for this digital asset capture.

StaplesVR videographer Charles Hill and contractor Brendan Wade have returned from the Ice, while Trust Building Conservation Programme Manager Zack Bennett and Conservator Conor Tulloch will soon to be joined by Lead Conservator Nicola Stewart and Conservator Gretel Evans to carry out essential monitoring and maintenance tasks at each of the Ross Island explorer bases we care for.

Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s hut at Cape Evans Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s hut at Cape Evans is the iconic base associated with the British Antarctic (Terra Nova) Expedition 1910–1913 and his second, famed but ill-fated attempt to reach the Geographic South Pole.

Explore these images and thousands more in our new digital image archive, ‘Icy Heritage.’ (link in our bio)

During the 1910-1913 expedition, this hut served as a base for scientific research, exploration, and strategic planning for Scott's journey to the South Pole. From sleep quarters to scientific labs, it was home to inspiring explorers pushing the boundaries of human discovery.

Antarctic Heritage Trust carried out a major carpentry and artefact conservation programme on Scott's ‘Terra Nova’ hut from 2007–2012 as part of the Ross Sea Heritage Restoration Project. From 2013 onwards the project shifted focus to monitoring and maintenance to safeguard the building and collection of over 11,500 artefacts from deterioration in the extreme Antarctic environment. 

The Trust is committed to ensuring this important cultural heritage and the legacy of the explorers associated with it continues to inspire for generations to come.

The ‘Icy Heritage’ Digital Collection is a publically accessible portal containing over 10,000 mostly never-seen-before images from the Trust’s wider collection and showcases the Trust’s mission to conserve, share and encourage the spirit of exploration.

�#OnThisDay in 1936, Norwegian Naval officer and �#OnThisDay in 1936, Norwegian Naval officer and polar explorer Oscar Adolf Wisting died alone in his old cabin of the 'Fram' during work at the Fram Museum. He had dedicated much of his time in the later years of his life to the preservation of the 'Fram' and was said to have "loved the ship as his child, and as such he treated it also".

�One of Roald Amundsen's most trusted and faithful companions, Wisting and Amundsen worked together for 16 years. They were the first people to reach both Poles - the South Pole on 14 December 1911 with the 'Fram' Expedition, and the North Pole on the airship 'Norge' on 12 May 1926. Wisting also served as chief officer on board the 'Maud' in Amundsen's attempt to traverse the Northeast passage from 1918-1925.

�Wisting was appointed Knight 1st Class of the Order of St. Olav and Commander 1st Class in 1926. He was also awarded the South Pole Medal, the Royal Norwegian award for participants of Amundsen's South Pole expedition.

📸 A Young Man’s Antarctic Discovery

#inspire #explore #discover #conserve #Antarctica
#OnThisDay in Christiania, Norway 1864, Antarctic #OnThisDay in Christiania, Norway 1864, Antarctic explorer Carston Borchgrevink was born.

Educated at Gjertsen College and the Royal Forestry school, Tharandt, Saxony, he then worked in Australia with government surveyors. In 1894 Borchgrevink joined HJ Bull’s whaling expedition, first visiting the Antarctic continent in 1895 on the whaler 'Antarctic'.

Borchgrevink persuaded a wealthy British magazine publisher to back his British Antarctic 'Southern Cross' Expedition of 1898-1900. His team constructed the first buildings at Cape Adare, two simple pine kitset huts which incredibly still stand to this day, the only example left of humanity’s first dwelling on any continent.

The team faced huge challenges during their year on the ice, as Cape Adare turned out to be one of the harshest places in the Antarctic. Despite this, they were the first to overwinter on the continent and learned important lessons about travelling in Antarctica. They collected valuable weather readings, setting the baseline for Antarctic climate science and identified an access route onto the Ross Ice Shelf, paving the way for the first journey to the South Pole.

Unfortunately, the return of the 'Southern Cross' to England was overshadowed by the upcoming 'Discovery' expedition of Robert Falcon Scott which had grabbed the British public's attention.

Borchgrevink's pioneering work and contribution to polar exploration was recognised in subsequent years. He embarked on lecture tours in England and Scotland and was eventually made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Norway made him a Knight of St. Olaf and then a Knight Daneborg, and he was awarded the Royal Geographic Society's Patron's Medal in 1930.

He died in Oslo in 1934. Antarctic features named for him include the Borchgrevink Coast, Borchgrevink Glacier and Borchgrevink Glacier Tongue, Borchgrevinkisen a glacier in the Sor Rondane Mountains and Borchgrevink Nunatak.

Antarctic Heritage Trust is proud to care for the historic expedition base of Borchegrevink's 'Southern Cross' Expedition at Cape Adare.

The Trust would like to congratulate Young Inspiri The Trust would like to congratulate Young Inspiring Explorers™ alumna, Abby Wilson on successfully presenting her ‘Adopt a Scientist’ research project to her school community last week. 🎓🔍

Under the mentorship of Trust Education Manager, Dr. Gabriela Roldan, who is also a social scientist, Abby delved into Antarctica's heritage conservation. She spent four months exploring the challenges faced by conservators in preserving historic huts, focusing on Shackleton’s ‘Nimrod’ hut and Hillary’s TAE/IGY hut—built 50 years apart. 🏚️❄️

Aged 14, Abby's journey began with her participation in the 2020 Worsley Weekend hosted by the Trust. This ignited her passion for Antarctic conservation, leading her to present her findings on conservation strategies, techniques, tools, and expertise used by cold-climate conservators. 📊🗣️

Dr. Gabriela Roldan commended Abby's dedication, stating, "She is a curious person, driven by a passion for Antarctica and the work our conservators do to preserve this significant heritage. Nurturing the interest of young minds like Abby ensures we're cultivating the next generation of Antarctic heritage conservation leaders." 🌐🔬
