In Antarctica found a picture of the late 19th century.

The new Zealand heritage trust the Antarctic found a picture of the deceased in the expedition of Robert Falcon Scott the British Explorer Edward Wilson.

A painting that depicts a dead bird, discovered during cleaning in an abandoned hut at Cape Adare.

“We have found watercolor birds at Cape Adair. This is a very interesting place on the Antarctic continent, which is about 800 km from new Zealand’s Scott base. That is, the place is quite remote from the people. But this is the first piece of Antarctica, which you see when you arrive from New Zealand on the ship. This place is also home to a large colony of Adelie penguins,” says Lisa Mick, a member of the expedition, who discovered watercolor, 1899.

Watercolor found among the penguin droppings, dust and mold. It preserved the name of a genus of birds, the Tree Creeper — the creeper and the date 1899. Judging by the date, Wilson drew a bird in Europe, when recovering from tuberculosis.

Only in the temporary shelter of explorers discovered about a thousand artifacts that were taken to New Zealand. As told by Lisa Mick, it’s mostly tools, clothing and equipment. Also from the Cape to New Zealand carried many cans of expired canned goods.

Note Edward Wilson took part in two polar expeditions of captain Robert Scott. The first took place from 1901 to 1904, the second started in 1910. In the winter of 11-12 years in the expedition were in the hut at Cape Adare. In 1912, the group went to the South pole, reached him, but died on the way back.
