A New Zealand company has hired drillers to dig out bottles of whiskey that were left behind in a cache under the Nimrod Expedition hut near Cape Royds.


The cache was from the Endurance expedition led by Ernest Shackleton. The Endurance became ice locked in Antarctica forcing the captain and crew to abandon the ship when it began to get crushed in the ice flow. The journey from there is one of the greatest survival stories of all time. It's about time they went back for the whiskey!
