The stove

In Ernest Shackleton's Cape Royds Hut, Antarctica used in his 1908 Expedition during which he got within 92 miles of the South Pole but had to turn back back because one of his men was seriously ill. If it hadn't been for that the South Pole would have been his and not Amundsens who got there three years later. The hut is more or less how he left it.
