A biscuit found at the old Cape Royd Antarctica hut from the famous Nimrod Expedition of Ernest Shackleton, has been sold in a Christie’s auction for £1,250 (just over A$2,000).

Christie’s currently holds the world record price of £7,638 (A$12,292) for biscuit crumbs from one of Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctica expeditions. This was achieved at a Christie’s London auction in September 2001.
