The Antarctic Heritage Trust was established in 1987 for the purpose of caring for the five expedition bases in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica on behalf of the international community. The online image archive Icy Heritage provides access to the Trust’s digital image collection which showcases the work of the Trust. The Trust is committed to making images available to the public for educational and research purposes.

We are delighted to accept contributions of high-quality photos that showcase the history of the huts and the work of the Antarctic Heritage Trust. We will consider contributions of images related to:

• Borchgrevink’s hut and Scott’s Northern Party hut at Cape Adare,
• Scott’s Discovery hut at Hut Point,
• Shackleton’s Nimrod hut at Cape Royds,
• Scott’s Terra Nova hut at Cape Evans,
• TAE/IGY hut or “Hut A” at Scott Base, Pram Point.

We would also welcome contributions of images related to the areas surrounding the bases, as well as any images of our team working on Ice.

Images showing our Inspiring Explorers Expeditions™ and Inspiring Explorers Education™ programme in action are also welcomed for consideration.

All submitted images should be original and accompanied by a brief description and photographer credit details.

 
By submitting images, you agree to grant Antarctic Heritage Trust a royalty-free, perpetual right to copy, adapt, redistribute, or show any image or any adaptation of any part of the image and to license any other person to do any of those acts. Your moral rights as creator will be asserted.
