A hoard of a century-old whisky has been discovered beneath the Antarctic base camp of famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton.

Ice cracked some of the bottles that had been left there in 1909, but the restorers said Friday they are confident the five crates contain intact bottles “given liquid can be heard when the crates are moved.”

New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust team leader Al Fastier said the team thought there were two crates and were amazed to find five.

Crevasse fields, mountain ranges and thousands of miles of uninhabitable ice - Antarctica is the harshest place on earth.

Planning an expedition to the uninhabitable continent soon? Then you’d better use this pretty cool Concept Ice Vehicle.

This latest ice automobile from Lotus was invented to be taken to Antarctica on the Moon Regan TransAntarctic Expedition. Intending to aid the research going on in the region, it is well-built to withstand the severity of polar environment.
