South: the story of Shackleton's 1914-1917 expedition eBook

This eBook from the Gutenberg Project consists of approximately 531 pages of information about South.

To sum up, there are three available huts in McMurdo Sound.

(a) The Discovery Hut with a certain amount of rough stores, and only of use as a point of departure for the South.

(b) Cape Royds Hut with a large amount of general stores, but no clothing or equipment now.

(c) Cape Evans Hut with a large amount of stores, but no clothing or equipment and only a few sledges.

(4) Depots south of hut point

In spite of the fact that several depots have been laid to the south of Hut Point on the Barrier, the last being at the Gap (the entrance to the Beardmore Glacier), no future Expedition should depend on them as the heavy snowfall obliterates them completely.  There is no record of the depots of any Expedition being made use of by any subsequent Expedition.  No party in any of my Expeditions has used any depot laid down by a previous Expedition.
