Daily Photo – Supplies for the Long Winter
This is a photo from Captain Shackleton’s final mission and hut. We spent a long time inside, exploring all the nooks and crannies. One of the most fascinating things to me are all the logistics of the food and rations. There were about a dozen men on the expedition. How much food do you take to Antarctica for a dozen men for a few years, and what if they get stuck for longer? Seal and penguin meat is all you have… I can barely pack for my kids for a three-day holiday… I’m amazed at the planning that must have gone into this expedition!
