Hut Point Peninsula () is a long narrow Cove from 2 to 3 Mile s (4.8 Km ) wide and 15 Mile s (24 Km ) long, projecting southwest from the slopes of Mount Erebus on Ross Island . The ''Discovery'' expedition (1901-04) under Scott built its hut on Hut Point, a small point lying 1 Mile (1.6 Km ) northwest of Cape Armitage , at the south end of the peninsula. Members of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910-13) under Scott, wintering on Cape Evans and often using the hut during their journeys, came to refer to this feature as Hut Point Peninsula. McMurdo Station (US) and Scott Base (NZ) are Antarctic research stations located on Hut Point Peninsula. |
