Visited a previously abandoned (1962) British research station in Antarctica last week called Port Lockroy. The station has been preserved much as it was in the 1940's/50's as a museum (since 1996) and now hosts UK university under graduates (volunteers) and expedition ships in the Summer months. Ignoring the usual penguin rookery stink (fish-ish) the place is worth a visit to see how these scientists lived in what then was the ends of the earth. The workshop was interesting and had a range of mid twentieth century tools that most of us older gents are familiar with. See pics. No Titans unfortunately! (sigh).
