Ernest Shackleton, a British explorer, lead his crew on three expeditions to Antarctica between 1907 and 1909. On one trip, he left himself a treat should he ever return to the icy continent, and unfortunately he never did. After Shackleton passed away in 1921, his treasure of two bottles of Scotch whiskey were covered by ice until 2010. The people who found the bottles didn’t want to damage the findings, so they remained there for another few years until they could safely be excavated.
