Penguin poo threatens oldest building in Antarctica

Penguins are ruining a wooden hut put up on Antarctica in 1899, the first building on the icy continent, according to a conservation expert.

Penguin excrement is piling up against the shack built by little-known Norwegian explorer Carsten Borchgrevink, the first person to make a confirmed landing on Antarctica in 1895.
