Two historic artefacts are on their way home to Antarctica after more than 60 years kept abroad on warmer soil. A Fry's cocoa tin and a Shell motor spirits box, belonging to the explorers Sir Ernest Shackleton and Captain Robert Falcon Scott, will be returned back to the South Pole. Antarctic Heritage Trust conservation collections manager Lizzie Meek spoke to Susie Ferguson.
