 Scott could have used this as a base during the Terra Nova Expedition, given that it was unlikely to suffer the sea ice problem that afflicted Hut Point, but he had reached an agreement with Shackleton that neither would use each other's facilities.The only visit to Shackleton's hut made during Scott's 1910–1913 expedition was by a former member of Shackleton's expedition.Shackleton's hut was found intact, with bread still on the tables just as it had been left.
