The interior of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s (1874-1922) hut in Cape Royd, Antarctica. The hut was built in 1908 and used as a base camp for one of Shackleton’s attempts to be the first to reach the South Pole. He and his team spent nine months here, enduring temperatures as low as -58 F (-50 C). The hut remains as it was abandoned in 1909, preserved by the extreme cold and low humidity.
