Young people around the world can discover Antarctica’s rich history of exploration and cultural heritage through Minecraft.
The Trust is delighted to introduce the eight young Kiwi explorers who will join our next Inspiring Explorers Expedition™
The Trust’s Alumni news for December 2025
The Trust in partnership with Backcountry Trust, successfully piloted a new initiative connecting young Kiwis with conservation work.
The Trust celebrates 10 years of Inspiring Explorers™, connecting young people with Antarctic exploration and heritage programmes.
Across the Atlantic is directed by Te Aroha Devon, one of 22 young explorers on the expedition with climber Sam West and data scientist Jenny Sahng, who are featured in the film. The expedition honoured the centenary of Sir Ernest Shackleton’s final expedition, the Quest, which journeyed to South Georgia and marked the end of the heroic-era of Antarctic exploration.
The eight young explorers were tasked with returning a classic book to the icy continent and hoped conditions would permit them to get to the base where heroic era explorers had read it, Scott’s Discovery hut at Hut Point on Ross Island.
This was the first time the Trust has taken young explorers to experience the legendary Antarctic explorers’ bases and understand the Trust’s conservation of them.
Twenty-two young New Zealanders travelled with the Trust to South Georgia in October 2023 for our ninth Inspiring Explorers Expedition™ as part of the Shackleton Centenary Year Expedition.
Antarctic Heritage Trust’s first Christchurch Explorer Conference brought together 85 Year 12 students at Te Pae to hear from inspiring speakers and embrace the challenge: step outside your comfort zone.
