Scott’s Discovery Hut Virtual Reality Experience

In this dynamic experience you will be transported to the very heart of Antarctic exploration, allowing you to step inside Discovery hut on Ross Island, Antarctica, just as Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton did over a century ago. Offering exciting interactions, including a ride in a hydrogen balloon, feeding huskies, helping a sledging party, and getting up close to the Discovery ship, this experience shares the stories behind this unique shelter’s place in polar history and the explorers that inhabited it. Explore Scott’s hut as it is today – conserved by our expert team to ensure it is weather tight and structurally sound and keeps the 500 artefacts it contains safe.
