  • The Aurora anchor, at Cape Evans. During Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition the Ross Sea Party was tasked with laying depots for Shackleton’s expected trans-antarctic trek. The depot's were laid at great cost to the men, but Shackleton's trek never happened because Shackleton's ship the Endurance was caught and crushed in the sea ice. The cable broke on this anchor during a storm, blowing the Aurora out to sea and stranding the Ross Sea Party at Cape Evan for almost 2 years. Three men were lost during that time, and a cross was erected for these lost men.

  • Interior of the Discovery Hut showing a sleeping platform and a blubber stove which they used for cooking and heating. Shackleton used the hut during his 1907-1908 Nimrod expedition, Scott used it during his 2nd expedition, the 1911 Terra Nova expedition, and the Ross Sea Party used it during Shackleton's failed attempt to cross the continent during the Endurance Expedition.

  • "The view from eight hundred feet up the mountain was magnificent and I got my spectacles out and cleared the ice away time after time to look. To the east a great field of pressure ridges below, looking in the moonlight as if giants had been ploughing with ploughs which made furrows fifty or sixty feet deep: these ran right up to the Barrier edge, and beyond was the frozen Ross Sea, lying flat, white and peaceful as though such things as blizzards were unknown. To the north and north-east the Knoll. Behind us Mount Terror on which we stood, and over all the grey limitless Barrier seemed to cast a spell of cold immensity, vague, ponderous, a breeding-place of wind and drift and darkness. God! What a place!" Apsley Cherry-Garrard, The Worst Journey in the World 1910-1913
