Follow a team of eight diverse rangatahi (young people) through their journey to the Ross Sea, Antarctica and venture inside the historic huts of legendary Antarctic explorers Scott and Shackleton.
Their mission – to conserve and return a precious taonga (artefact), negotiating thick pack ice as they attempt to reach 77 degrees South, the location of Scott’s Discovery hut.
Following the Antarctic Heritage Trust’s 2025 Inspiring Explorers Expedition™, this series captures the team’s discoveries and emotions as they explore the icy continent. They learn what it takes to care for Antarctica’s extraordinary historic sites, and day by day a sense of responsibility begins to form for this fragile and beautiful place, and the legacy of exploration held there.
Scott’s Terra Nova hut has a history steeped in both triumph and tragedy that is proudly on display at Cape Evans. Step inside and you will find the building in good health with more than 11,000 artefacts left behind by expeditions of Scott and Shackleton carefully conserved.
Join the Trust’s Executive Director, Francesca Eathorne as she visits the hut, speaks to the conservation experts and hears how they worked within the world’s most extreme environment to save this important piece of Antarctic history.
