Hut Point is the first landing on Ross Island English explorer Robert F. Scott, who arrived here in 1901 with 25 crewmen.
remained two years in the failed attempt to reach the South Pole.
In the film we see the landscape of the Ross Sea, still frozen (Nov. 1 - 1:30 am in the morning).
You can see the typical scale of the sea ice very dangerous to go as they may from time to time crevasse, or break under your weight if the summer is approaching.
The darker spots, which absorb more light, transparent ice is just not covered with snow.
The wooden cross was erected by the men of Scott in 1902 remember a mate slipped them into the ocean in the summer, during a storm, whose body was never found.
It 's the first died of McMurdo Bay.
