The New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust plans to unearth and examine two crates of Scotch whisky buried under a hut built by the Polar explorer Ernest Shackleton during his unsuccessful South Pole expedition between 1907 and 1909.
The ice-encased crates of McKinlay and Co whisky was discovered three years ago, and the Trust plans to use special cutting tools to remove the crates from the ice so that conservation work can be carried out before the hut is restored to its original condition.
I have no idea how you can ‘conserve’ bottles of whisky which have lain in ice for a century and cannot imagine how anyone can expect people to bury them in the ice again without first having an almighty great slurp of what must by now be a very fine whisky indeed!
