Captain Scott's hut saved after restoration fundraising project

"The hut, which still contains boxes of stores belonging to Scott's party from 1917, was falling into disrepair after almost a century of being battered by the elements in Antarctica.

Sir David Attenborough spoke out about the need to save the hut, saying: "It is a monument to the great age of heroic exploration.

"It would be a scandal if Britain failed to provide the money to make sure that this astonishing place is protected for future generations."

After 1917 it remained untouched until 1956 when US expeditioners dug it out of the snow and ice..."
