It is a great location to spend a night. It is possible to use the fire kettle located in front of the hut to heat up your food, for example. Unfortunately, the water pump does not provide drinking water. So bring everything and, importantly, dry wood if you want to make a fire. See the adventure of this wet end of year's walk. https://youtu.be/6S6LvMGfQYw

Shack from 1912. In which the pilot whale workers also lived and therefore spent the night. As a tribute to the men who had this hard life, the shack was internally restored in 2000.
