Prospect Point

We recently saw a BBC World program about how the British Antarctic Survey is now removing all the old huts. In March 2004 this hut was dismantled and all evidence that humans were ever here was removed. They said the hut had no use and was not of historical significance. Personally, we enjoyed visiting that little time capsule. We doubt the penguins care whether it was there or not and we think it is a shame to destroy even minor historical sites in a land with such a short history.
