Old chemicals inside Shackleton's Nimrod Hut (pictured) and Scott's Terra Nova Hut pose a potential explosive hazard.
Old chemicals found inside two of Antarctica's most significant historic huts could pose "potential explosive hazards", a report has warned.
Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod Hut at Cape Royds and Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova Hut at Cape Evans are considered time capsules of the Heroic Age of early exploration in Antarctica.
Shackleton's Hut was built in 1908 as part of Anglo Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton's Nimrod expedition.
