Fruit cake 100 years ago why didn't the South Pole fruit cake rot 100 years ago?

Recently, a piece of fruit cake more than 100 years ago was found in Antarctica. It has not rotted for more than 100 years. How can it be done? Let's take a look with Xiaobian!

According to the Russian satellite network, the Antarctica Heritage Trust of New Zealand, which is engaged in the protection of Antarctic researchers' cultural relics in the early 20th century, said that researchers found a well preserved cake 100 years ago in a hut in the Eastern Cape Adele of Antarctica.

The fruit cake, produced by Huntley Palmers, has a paper outer packaging and is placed in a tin box, the foundation said.

"Although the tin box has been damaged, the cake itself looks and smells almost edible," the source said. '

It is expected that the cake was taken by British explorer Robert Scott during his expedition to Antarctica on the tranova from 1910 to 1913. Scott and his team arrived at the South Pole and died on their way back.
