Carsten Borchgrevink and nine others spent a year in Antarctica, cut off from the rest of the world.
Carsten Borchgrevink’s shore party were the first people ever to live on the Antarctic mainland.
Cape Adare is one of Antarctica's harshest places, but the expedition's buildings have survived for more than a century.
The expedition's attempts to explore the ice taught them about Antarctica's deadly storms and fickle sea ice.
In 1911, Cape Adare became home to the Northern Party of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova expedition.
