I couldn't imagine living in that hut such a long time ago. To think of the conditions they endured with a fraction of the modern day amenities is mind blowing.
That's easy: men of that generation are clearly hardier than those of today. Just look at the 2 world wars: they took more pain & punishment far longer, few complaints & hardly flinched in the face of death & dismemberment. Today? They want their feelings acknowledged, and throw tantrums when there's no tampons in the men's room for trans.gender sickos.
@@MackerelCat the previous generations were still superior to the current bunch of weak, useless fools who are easily misled, brainwashed & refuses any responsibility.
I had to read Shackleton’s book “The Endeavor “ in class 7. Changed the way I view the world. I hadn’t seen such a good showing of the shack before. Thanks for the vid.
This video is absolutely incredible! I am totally mind blown as I had no idea that the hut still existed. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Best wishes from Guildford in the UK. ☺️
It's amazing it's stood up for over 100 years in such an environment. Though Florida has some buildings over 100 years old, it doesn't quite seem the same.
Very interesting video and exciting journey. Is it possible to reach Cape Royds also via land from Scott Base or McMurdo Station with vehicles, but only via sea ice?
I just imagine being on a failed expedition and coming across Shackeltons hut and thinking you’re saved only to realize it’s been encased and locked so you can’t get inside lol
It’s amazing. If you’re interested in getting a job there, I’ve written an E-Book about how to get a job in Antarctica! You can get a free copy at the link in my bio or at mattykjordan.com/ebook. I hope you enjoy it!
Very interesting. Thanks for all the insightful videos. One thing I've missed what is your actual job role? Scientist? Plumber? Etc would you be able to do a day in your job role video and a how you got the job video? Cheers.
@Mattykjordan brilliant. Thanks very much. That would be very interesting. BTW, is there a memorial to the Mount erebus tragedy in late 70s? I'm not a Kiwi so only read about about that recently. Have a good one. Cheers.
@@Mattykjordan I suppose they will just used anything - cork yes I forgot that, but horse hair maybe- no mud available, rocks maybe? Or wool? Or maybe just well crafted slatted wood ! 🧐and a whiskey to warm the cockles of their hearts! 🤣
@@robharris8844Urocks are a poor insulator but would be useful as thermal mass, some people stack rocks up around and on combustion stoves to add to the thermal mass of the cast iron stove. Horse hair, as you say, may have been used but I think sheep’s wool was also used.
Not sure about the british huts, I know that for framheim, Amundsens hut they used cellulose pulp as insulation, between two layers of wood. (And they packed snow against the hut from the outside) Shackleton's hut was originally the hut for Scott's discovery expedition and during that expedition the hut was so freezing cold that the men preferred sleeping in tents or on the ship. Unfortunately I have no idea if Shackleton changed anything later to keep the hut in any way warmer than it was during the discovery expedition.
If you had a 3d camera that Google has i guess you could send pictures to Google to put on street view. Do you know if it is possible to do that? Not sure how much they cost though. Btw, that place is frozen in time! No pun intended.
There already are images of it on Google Street View. There is also 360 camera footage of the McMurdo Station and the path that leads up to Shackleton's hut.
It takes quite a bit of pressure to get an old style tin or steel can to explode. Drink cans explode when you freeze them due to how thin the aluminum is, as well as already being under pressure and being completely full. I'd have to check the documentation, but I believe the majority of food at the time was dried as well. I remember reading that pemmican and hard tack were the primary foods for early expeditions. Low water content would mean minimal expansion. It would be super interesting to have a dedicated video about it though. How the food they used back then devoloped over time into what they currently eat at the base.
@@Mattykjordan For your future videos try recording in 60fps, it will make the videos smoother and easier to watch, especially when you are panning the camera around.

@@therealrobincthey did flinch. They suffered terrible ptsd and were never helped to deal with it. It’s heartbreaking really.

Not half bad for an old hut! I bet it would be cozy inside with that big stove burning. I'm glad people had the foresight to preserve these artifacts.
What an amazing adventure ! I’d never want to leave
I really didn’t want to leave
Always enjoy your videos! 😊
Thank you :)

My pleasure 🙏

Thank you for the update. It looks beautiful
My pleasure
I had to find and watch the long form of this video after watching the short it’s only the second time doing this!
I appreciate you taking the time to watch it. Hope you enjoy it!
It's amazing it's stood up for over 100 years in such an environment. Though Florida has some buildings over 100 years old, it doesn't quite seem the same.
It’s had some work done to it to keep it structurally sound but generally it’s pretty much the same
Wow great timing! Decided on creating a 3D environment with interior and exterior so this is great for some references!
Awesome! Send me a link when it’s done!
Incredible!
Thanks 🥰
Epic
Thanks 🥰
Love your videos
Thanks 🙏
Very interesting video and exciting journey.

Only via sea ice
4:44 Fantastic to be able to view the ESSE Mrs Sam stove.
It’s so special. Such an amazing centrepiece
I just imagine being on a failed expedition and coming across Shackeltons hut and thinking you’re saved only to realize it’s been encased and locked so you can’t get inside lol
Great video Matt!!
Thank you!
Fun fact, Antarctica is the driest place in the world almost getting no snow every year
True
Thank you! ❤
My pleasure 😇
Hi Matty have fun and keep safe
Thanks :)
I qould love to live in Antarctica it seem like so much fun
It’s amazing. If you’re interested in getting a job there, I’ve written an E-Book about how to get a job in Antarctica! You can get a free copy at the link in my bio or at mattykjordan.com/ebook. I hope you enjoy it!
Happy Valentine's Day, Matty! Make it matter!🥰🤗❤️
Thank you! You too!
Very interesting. Thanks for all the insightful videos. One thing I've missed what is your actual job role? Scientist? Plumber? Etc would you be able to do a day in your job role video and a how you got the job video? Cheers.
I’m a project manager with New Zealand’s Antarctic program 😁 yep I can do a video of my role
@Mattykjordan brilliant. Thanks very much. That would be very interesting. BTW, is there a memorial to the Mount erebus tragedy in late 70s? I'm not a Kiwi so only read about about that recently. Have a good one. Cheers.
Does it feel like you are breaking into somebody house? Or is it more like seeing an attraction?
We’ve got a key so definitely doesn’t feel like breaking in 😅
my dumb ass over hear expecting a giant yeti monster to jump out of nowhere
Why are you taking so many hugglunds on this trip? It almost looks on the video like it's one person per vehicle. And what's in the back cabin?
Wow!
😍
It looks pretty cold there
It sure is
15 men stayed there? I didn't see 15 beds. Did some of them sleep on the floor? P.S. Those beds looked EXTREMELY uncomfortable!
They’re pushed up against the side walls, but yeah it would’ve been tight!
Seeing the Hägglunds bandwagons gives me a twinge of patriotism as a Swede.
Yeah they’re great machines
You guys are driving over an ocean that is ICE!?!? 🤯
Yes! It freezes in the winter!
Did the people make it back to civilization or did they die at Antarctica? Their ship was stuck perhaps?
Some made it back, some died
Man i would love to visit Antarctica always loved the cold but wife doesn't are you looking an apprentice lol
🤣yeah there are opportunities. What do you do?
What did they use for fuel in their stove? Are there enough trees there for them to burn wood?
They burned anthracite coal
@@Mattykjordan Thanks!
No trees, nothing lives on Antarctica that’s bigger than a midge. At the pole only microorganisms live.
I would be terrified of being on the sea ice. hell no!
We all know when that whiskey was found under the floor boards some 'samples' were taken, for research purposes of course.
Where's the loo??
Why does the door need a lock? Who's gonna be passing by that?
Just to help with management of people numbers. It’s a protected area under the Antarctica treaty so they need to know how many people enter
-35 with windchill or without?
Without
Matty r u back to Antartica or these r videoas from ur last trip
From my last trip :)
Matt, Whats the insulation of the building ? Is it Two layers of wood with horse hay between? Or just wood? Thanks for the walk around 🫡
There’s definitely some cork in the walls but I’m not entirely sure what else is there
@@Mattykjordan I suppose they will just used anything - cork yes I forgot that, but horse hair maybe- no mud available, rocks maybe? Or wool? Or maybe just well crafted slatted wood ! 🧐and a whiskey to warm the cockles of their hearts! 🤣

What do you guys do when you're not researching and studying the Antarctic?
So now I’m beyond curious to what it looks like when a volcano explodes in Antarctica 😂😂😅
If you had a 3d camera that Google has i guess you could send pictures to Google to put on street view. Do you know if it is possible to do that? Not sure how much they cost though. Btw, that place is frozen in time! No pun intended.

I wonder if any children have been conceived in Antarctica…
Yes, their has also been at least 11 children born in Antarctica
Yes, the Argentinian government sent several pregnant women to Antarctica to help solidify their claim on some of the territory.
How tf did they get that huge stove delivered there?
With a Dog sledge or good old man hauling
With enough of weed and a drumset, i could easily live a winter on Antarctica.
Don't forget the whiskey lol
So…cans and jars. Why did they not explode?
It takes quite a bit of pressure to get an old style tin or steel can to explode.
Drink cans explode when you freeze them due to how thin the aluminum is, as well as already being under pressure and being completely full.

Maybe they're empty?
Where are the ufo
This blog is flat hearters worst nightmare.
