Discovery Hut [SEP] continent
Discovery Hut
Discovery Hut was built by Robert Falcon Scott during the Discovery Expedition of 1901–1904 in 1902 and is located at Hut Point on Ross Island by McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Visitors to Antarctica, arriving at either the US Base at McMurdo or New Zealand's Scott Base are likely to encounter Discovery Hut as both are located on Hut Point. Discovery Hut is just 300m from McMurdo Base. The hut has been designated a Historic Site or Monument (HSM 18), following a proposal by New Zealand and the United
Kingdom to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting.
Some confusion arises because Discovery Hut can technically be referred to as "Scott's" hut, in that his expedition built it, and it was his base ashore during the 1901–1904 expedition, but the title "Scott's Hut" popularly belongs to the building erected in 1911 at Cape Evans.
