Famous Discoveries - Salter Scales
During the 2020-21 Summer season the Antarctic Heritage Trust repatriated a set of Salter scales. The scales were souvenired in the 1950's by a United States Naval command officer and after hearing about the Trust's conservation work in Scott's Discovery hut, were returned by his family. It was not uncommon, in the 1950s and '60s for those who visited the huts to take a souvenir home with them, and the Trust has facilitated the return of many artefacts back to Antarctica. The scales now hang above the blubber stove inside Scott's Discovery hut at Hut Point.
The scales were likely used by Antarctic explorers to weigh items ahead of sledging expeditions to accurately and efficiently pack the sledges with provisions.
