Leftover canned goods from Britain's 1947 Wordie House science expedition.
Summary
edit
| Description |
English: The Wordie House structure that was built in 1947 was made of material from leftover whaling structures on Deception Island. In 1954, Wordie House was replaced with a new science base on nearby Galindez Island, then called Faraday (today called Vernadsky and operated by Ukraine).
The Wordie House was occupied briefly by necessity in 1960 when an expedition could not reach its intended destination and had to shelter in Wordie. Apart from the occasional tourist, that was the last time the spot was used. All of the original stuff of life and science equipment are all still there, making Wordie House a time capsule. |
