A million-dollar project to save Sir Edmund Hillary's hut in Antarctica is now largely complete.
Thousands of New Zealanders chipped in to help save the hut, mostly during a 2012-kilometre tractor journey, Expedition South.
For the past three months, the Antarctic Heritage Trust has had a team of 12 carpenters and conservation specialists on the ice saving the hut and conserving the hundreds of artefacts within it.
Trust executive director Nigel Watson said the major restoration was now finished.
