"It's quite amazing how strong the smell is after nearly 100 years," Meek said at the hut. "I'm not sure I'd want it on my toast."


Probably something that would make my stomach turn. :P

"The latest find follows news last month of the discovery of two crates of Scotch whisky under a hut used by another British explorer, Ernest Shackleton, during his 1907-09 expedition to Antarctica."

That is amazing, but I'm a bit more interested in the scotch. ;)

This reminds me of this treasure that was found not far from where I live. What that article doesn't mention is that a lot of preserved food in jars was also found, that's what made me think of it. I still haven't been to that museum.

Here's a somwhat good website about the steamboat Arabia museum. http://www.1856.com/
