How is it possible that a 100 year old hut isn’t already under rising sea water?

How come when journalists are faced with stories like these, they don’t take the opportunity to ask the really relevant questions?

When they found the remains of Robert Falcon Scott and his team they found his team’s camera. The photos were developed and it shows the one of them standing at Amundsen’s marker and one of them is pulling the string to the camera. What a look of disappointment on their faces. Really an amazing photo.

I must be old. The pictures are circa 1915? I dunno, that just doesn’t seem that old I guess.

Cool pics, but maybe they could locate Antarctic pictures from 1815 instead.

“undeveloped negatives”
No. Negatives are the end result of developing film. Is this unDEVELOPED film, or unPRINTED negatives?

Those were sent for developing to Walgreen’s in 1816; they had a double print special going on that year.
Just waiting for them to be done.
