Discovering the discovery


The other day we went to the Discovery Museum, although most of you are probably wondering what it is.. For your information, the discovery was the first ship which arrived at the Antarctic in 1901. The captain of the trip was captain Scott.

At the museum we learnt about all the part of the ship and what wood was used as well as how much food they took for their journey! We were actually really impressed by the amount of food they had, for instance, they had more than 2000 kg of cheese. Besides this, we found out about the nicknames given to the crew.

However, the best part was the opportunity to see the house where Scott and the crew stayed. It was a virtual experience, so we were able to go through the different rooms. Furthermore, we saw the UK’s station in The Antarctic, we were surprised by the size of the station and how comfortable it seemed to be.

Next thing we did was create our own flag and of course, the Spanish flag was there. 



Then we went to the actual boat which was just next to the museum, orientated facing the sun with incredible views.  
Finally, we took some pictures of the wheel





and went to the shop. We spent money to buy shortbread which was delicious!
