Scott relics to go on show

"A stroke of wonderful luck" has uncovered priceless artefacts from Captain Robert Scott's tragic journey to the South Pole nearly a century ago.

A home-made pony hood and a much-repaired backpack will go on display for the first time tomorrow at the Canterbury Museum after being uncovered last summer.

An archaeologist found the items while digging out the foundation of the Scott Hut in Antarctica.
