Scott Base's oldest building, a hut built by a Sir Edmund Hillary-led team to Antarctica, was at Frimley School in Hastings on Tuesday – virtually.
The Antarctic Heritage Trust's roadshow has been traveling around Hawke's Bay visiting Taradale Library, Hastings Library and Frimley School with Hillary's hut.
Developed in partnership with Auckland University of Technology, the virtual reality (VR) experience allowed Frimley's year 5 and 6 students to explore Sir Edmund Hillary's hut in Antarctica.
The experience provides insight into how the 23 men of Sir Ed's team lived and worked in the world's most extreme environment more than 60 years ago.
