CapeEvans

Cape Evans was the headquarters for Scott's second expedition. Scott has named the place "Skuary" during his first expedition to the area, but renamed it to Cape Evans in honor of his second in command. Scott and his men built the building in 1911. The building was built in England, taken apart and reassembled here. The building includes a stable area for horses Scott brought with him.
The building was also used by Shackleton's Ross Sea Party after the vessal they had been using as their headquarters broke its anchor line and drifted away. These men where not with Shackleton who was locked in ice on the other side of the continent. The job of these men was to setup supply dumps for Shackleton to use on his cross continent trek. Shackleton never made the trek since his group was locked in ice. Once Shackleton made his journey back to South Georgia to get a rescue ship he returned and rescued his men on both sides of the continent. One dog was left behind. The dog's skeleton rests in the stable.
