Mawson's Huts
Mawson's Huts are a group of historic buildings located in Antarctica, specifically on the Davis Station site. They were constructed during the Australian Antarctic Expedition led by Douglas Mawson from 1911 to 1914. The huts served as living quarters, laboratories, and storage facilities for the expedition team.
These huts are significant as they represent early Australian exploration in Antarctica. They are made from local materials and designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. Today, Mawson's Huts are preserved as a heritage site, providing insight into the challenges faced by early explorers in one of the world's most extreme environments.
