Antarctic Heritage Trust Chair Sir Jerry Mateparae views the icy continent the same way he views the world.
“It’s a place where there is so much to learn about our history and science, for today and tomorrow,” he says.
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.
The Trust’s On-Ice Conservation team spent thirteen weeks in Antarctica this season, from early November until late January, undertaking an intensive digital data capture project, followed by the annual conservation programme at the historic Ross Island explorer bases of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and Sir Edmund Hillary.
An ambitious project in a particularly challenging environment has succeeded thanks to the long-term partnership between two organisations on opposite sides of the globe.
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.
