Welsh donors praised for helping preserve Scott hut, BBC
“In 1910 Scott relied heavily on school children to fund his expedition, with schools sponsoring a sledge dog or set of skis, in return for the honour of having their name transported to the very bottom of the world. A century later and Mr Stuart Smith says youngsters have once again been among the campaign’s most generous and enthusiastic supporters, though ecology rather than exploration now seems to be their main motivation. “I think now as then, children can identify with Scott’s sense of adventure,” he said.”
