Join us for a rare opportunity to connect with history, science, and the wild beauty of Antarctica!

Fellow Club member Francesca Eathorne, the Executive Director of The Antarctic Heritage Trust will take you on a journey through time, sharing the incredible conservation efforts behind Scott's Huts. The historic landmarks that have withstood the test of time and the harsh Antarctic environment. Learn about the meticulous work that goes into preserving these iconic pieces of history, and the fascinating stories they hold.

Antarctic Heritage Trust invites you to explore Hut Point Peninsula and the first Antarctic base of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Discovery hut, through their latest immersive virtual reality experience. You will be transported to the very heart of Antarctic exploration, allowing you to step inside Discovery hut on Ross Island, Antarctica, just as Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton did over a century ago.

Offering exciting interactions, including a ride in the hydrogen balloon the expedition launched, feeding huskies, helping a sledging party, and getting up close to the Discovery ship, this experience shares the stories behind this unique shelter’s place in polar history and the explorers that inhabited it.
