Scott's Hut

Today we're looking at a really old hut used by one of the first and most famous Antarctic explorers, Robert Falcon Scott.
They've left everything in here exactly as it was 100 years ago, even pants they hung up to dry!

Here's some old, frozen socks!
 
Here's some old food.

More old food. Can you see the crackers they left out? It's so cold here that they still look like crackers, even though by now they would be dust anywhere else on earth.

Here's a package of sugar that's older than your grandparents' grandparents!

Here's some old hot chocolate. I wonder if this is still good.

The roof had ice on the inside. That's when you know it's cold!
