100 year old notebook found buried beneath the grueling ice of the Antarctica. The notebook is estimated to have found its way in the South pole during Scott's voyage in 1912.

Scott was a British explorer who grew famous in the early twentieth century for his heroic exploits at the age of Antarctic exploration. He arrived at the South Pole on January 1912only to discover that his long time rival, Norwegian Roald Amundsen, had beaten him to the chase by roughly 33 days. Scott and several members of his expedition died in March 1912, during the return journey.

The 100 year old notebook belonged to George Murray Levick, a photographer and a surgeon who was part of Scott's expedition from 1910.The notebook contains pencil notes of the pictures he took back at Cape Adare.

According to the director of the Antarctic Heritage Trust, the notebook was a missing part of the expedition record. The heritage spent seven years conserving part of Scott's last expedition building and collection. The finding of the 100 year old notebook is certainly a remarkable feat.

The notebook was found in January 2013 at another Scott camp at the Cape Evans base. The summer snow melt revealed the book. After 100 years buried in ice, the notebook's binding had dissolved and the pages were stuck together. The trust hired Aline Leclerq, a paper conservator to do what she could in separating the pages. The notebook was then rebuilt and sewn back together using cover remnants.

The remarks in the notebook refer to photos now held by the Scott Polar Research Institute. Once the whole notebook was rebuilt, it was then returned to its home in Antarctica. It now forms one of the 11,000 artifacts at the Cape Evans. What I could give to own a 100 year old notebook
