Antarctica. 118 Yr Old Dead Bird Painting Found

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


OK, the news out of Antarctica just gets weirder everyday. This is the latest.

The almost perfectly-preserved artwork was painted by Dr. Edward Wilson, a British polar explorer who died in Antarctica with his expedition leader Capt. Robert Falcon Scott.

 

It was hidden among penguin excrement, dust and moldy papers in the hut he sheltered in on a 1911 expedition from which he never returned.

The delicate painting is labeled ’1899 Tree Creeper,’ and depicts a white-breasted tree creeper bird.

But how it ended up in the Cape Adare hut 12 years after Wilson painted it is a mystery.

Paper conservator Josefin Bergmark-Jimenez found the old artwork while clearing out the hut to ready it for restoration.

It was left in a portfolio sitting on the bed

The New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust has discovered an almost perfectly preserved 118 year old watercolour painting among penguin-excrement, dust and mould covered papers found in an historic hut at Cape Adare, Antarctica. 
 

I find it very hard to believe, that this hut sat there for over 100 yrs, and none of the contents were disturbed. This whole thing is very fishy.

Given the strange events coming out of the Antarctica lately, this smells more like a secret message, than a real discovery.

The treecreepers are a family, Certhiidae, of small passerine birds, widespread in wooded regions of the Northern Hemisphere and sub-Saharan Africa. The family contains ten species in two generaCerthia and Salpornis. Their plumage is dull-coloured, and as their name implies, they climb over the surface of trees in search of food.

So a painting of a treecreeper, which apparently is not native to Antarctica, 

The watercolour was discovered in 2016 but kept a secret to let the Antarctic Heritage Trust focus on restoring the 1,500 artefacts they recovered from the Cape Adare huts.
