Now You Can Take A Tour Inside Antarctic Explorer Ernest Shackleton's 104 Year Old Survival Hut At the South Pole...

Now, thanks to the Google Street View team who has been systematically mapping imagery that allows us to access some of the world's most historic places, you can have this amazing visual experience.
The latest location takes us to the ends of the earth to look inside Shackleton's survival hut built in 1908 near the South Pole.
By taking several photos using fish eye lenses, the Google team was able to stitch together images to create one 360 degree experience.
Just to get in the mood, put on some thermals, waterproof boots, a warm jacket, don't forget a hat, some fingerless gloves, you have to control the mouse remember, and click on here.
Then scroll down the text and click on Shackleton's Hut. That will take you to the Google page, then use the directional icon at the top left of the photo to move around the hut.
When you're in there, don't touch anything and don't go wandering off outside alone.
See you when you get back...
