Made by British biscuit company Huntley & Palmers, it was found in a hut in Cape Adare, which was one of the first buildings erected on the continent and the base for Scott's expedition.

Lizzie Meek, artifacts programme manager at the Trust, said it was "quite a surprise" to find the fruitcake, which sat among the last handful of corroded tins set to be restored.
"It's an ideal high-energy food for Antarctic conditions, and is still a favourite item on modern trips to the Ice," she said in a statement.
Hope you brought your appetite.
