At room temperature, the stable allotrope is β-tin, a silvery-white, malleable metal.

At low temperatures it transforms into the less dense grey α-tin, which has the diamond cubic structure. This phenomenon is known as "tin pest".

SCOTT EXPEDITION TO ANTARCTICA (TERRA NOVA EXPEDITION)

# data[].attributes.body
In 1910 British polar explorer Robert Scott hoped to be the first to reach the South Pole, but was beaten by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. On foot, the expedition trudged through the frozen deserts of the Antarctic, marching for caches of food and kerosene deposited on the way in. In early 1912, at the first cache, there was no kerosene; the cans — soldered with tin — were empty. The cause of the empty tins was related to tin pest.
