About the photograph.

Seamans Hut, Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia.

"A night of enduring blizzard conditions had seen the wind so strong that it was difficult to even stand upright and the visibility a white out. The sound through the night was like a jet engine outside. Waking early from the sleeping bag to capture sunrise I nearly didn't get up after a poor night night sleep. But, on heading out I sawSeamans Hut covered in wind blown snow and ice from the storm. It was a great opportunity to capture what this hut endures in winter and the reason for its creation - as an emergency shelter for the sometimes harsh conditions experienced in this area."- Scott

Seamans Hut was built in 1929 and was originally named the Laurie Seaman Memorial Chalet, to commemorate Seaman who, with his skiing companion Evan Hayes, perished in a blizzard whilst returning from Mt Kosciuszko in the winter of 1928. Both men perished from exposure during the night. Seamans body was not found until the spring, sat leaning against a rock just to the rear of the hut. Hayes body was not found for another 15 months - 3km away from Seaman near Lake Cootapatamba. After travelling from the US to visit the site Seaman was found, Seaman’s parents contributed £200 to the building of a memorial chalet, to provide shelter to future users of the park, to prevent recurrence of a similar tragedy.
