100-Year-Old Notebook From Expedition Found in Antarctica

It's not your average notebook... this more than 100-year-old artifact was discovered in Antarctica.

The notebook belonged to a surgeon and photographer named George Levick.

It contains notes written in pencil about photos he took in 1911, as he traveled with British explorer Robert Falcon Scott on an adventure to the frozen continent at the bottom of the world.

The Antarctic Heritage Trust conserved the book and it will join the more than 11,000 artifacts on display from that period of exploration.
