Fruitcake over 100 years old found in the Antarctic
 

Conservationists in the Antarctic have discovered a fruitcake left over from Robert Falcon Scott's doomed polar expedition, making it over 100 years old. A combination of the cold and high fruit content has preserved the explorer's leftover treat really well. Though it appears 'almost edible', the conservation team haven't actually tasted the cake, because they've yet to stumble upon a 100-year-old cup of tea.
