Cape Adare, Antarctica.  On February 18, 1899 Carsten Borchgrevink landed and established camp at Cape Adare.  He and nine other men and 70 dogs spent the winter carrying out survey trips and collecting samples and meteorological data. They were the first men to winter over on the Antarctic continent.  "The silence roars in one's ears," he later wrote.

Today the huts remain, surrounded by Adelie penguins.  When I arrived the seas were so rough that it was impossible to land--this shot was taken from the deck of an icebreaker.
