Finally, minus the milliliters of whisky that had been carefully syringed out through their corks, the original bottles were returned from Scotland to the Shackleton expedition's hut, where they have been re-situated as part of the preserved environ by the Antarctic Heritage Trust.

What a waste. I'm an historical preservationist, but this is ridiculous. Good thing I don't drink anymore, or I'd be organizing a salvage expedition.

Or does the Antarctic Heritage Trust maintain an armed guard? Now that would be a great job for a misanthrope....
