Championing Antarctic Heritage for All Make a difference at Damoy     Hello Antarctic friends, The photo above was taken a week ago of Damoy hut buried in deep snow, 10,000 miles away, at the bottom of our world. The modest hut embodies the years it spent as a refuge to the scientists and support staff waiting for onward flights further south to their research station. A time capsule full of the paraphernalia of a home away from home: tins of food, homemade board games, photographs… A place of acclimatisation, anticipation and cooperation. The paintwork of the prefabricated wooden walls bears the scars of the relentless wind, ice and salt air. Now is the time not only to repair this designated historic site but to peel back the layers and restore it to its original colour – orange – which it proudly displayed, to be visible for landing craft, during its golden age of operation. Together, we can protect the hut, our Antarctic heritage, from the elements, saving it for current and future generations as a totem for sharing the remarkable stories of those searching for knowledge, connecting us with the wonder and value of Antarctica. Become a part of Damoy's story by donating this week to our Big Give Christmas Campaign. With your help we can send a specialist conservation team to the Peninsula in January equipped with everything from paint brushes to scaffolding. We have until midday on 6 December to raise our target of £40,000. Your donation to the appeal will be doubled – one donation, twice the impact!
